The entire composting package includes the Earth Machine home composter, the Wingdigger Compost Aerator
and the educational material. Given that the residents pay $30.00 for the composting package and the City do not
receive a grant from the Ministry of Environment, the City will be contributing $11.90 per composting package.
Should the City receive a grant from the Ministry of Environment (assume 1/4 of total costs), the City will be

contributing $2.85 per composting package.

It is recommended that Committee approve funding to purchase 500 Earth Machine home composters, 500
Wingdigger Compost Aerators and 500 copies of educationa! material at the total tendered price of $18,099.05
(G.S.T. inclusive) at this time. It is also recommended that Committee approve selling the Earth Machine home
composter, Wingdigger Compost Aerator and educational material as a package for $30.00 and reimburse $5.00
to the retailer for administration and storage cost. Therefore, the City will generate a revenue of $10,965.00 and
the City subsidy will be $5,950.00. The Engineering Department will continue to pursue the Ministry of
Environment for grant funding. The composting package is to be sold at various local landscaping and hardware

stores (i.e. Art Knapp, Reid's Hardware, etc.).
