Whitby has 1 Dyson on clearance (DC46) and 2 x brownie makers.
Looks like you can make carrot cake and healthier baked goods too, by the pictures on the front of the box.

Whitby must not have as much traffic because they always have stock, but I find the layout odd and don't know why. Same as when Zellers was in there. They're pretty good with coupons. Great price for the Heys!

Frequently Asked Questions
Spring Compost Give Away

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring?
A shovel and any container of your choice such as: blue boxes, reusable containers, kraft paper yard waste bags. Residents are responsible for shovelling and bagging their own compost. Event is on a first-come, first-served basis and quantity is limited to the equivalent of 4 blue boxes of compost per car.
What is the quality of Durham Region's compost?
The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) sets Compost Guidelines which include compost grades. The grades are met through stringent material testing. Durham's compost consistently meets the MOE's Compost Guidelines requirements for Grade A compost. Grade A compost is the highest quality and may be used without restriction.
How do I use this compost in my garden?
There are many benefits to using organic compost as a soil amendment in the garden, and with many other different applications. For best results, a 60% topsoil and 40% compost mix is recommended. For more information on composting and the use of compost, please visit the Compost Council of Canada website.
Where does the free compost come from?
The leaf and yard waste and green bin organics collected through the Region's residential curbside collection program is taken to a processing facility and turned into high quality compost. Each year, the Region gives this compost back to the community at its compost give away events.
Will the Region be selling containers and doing exchanges to broken containers?
The Region sells Green Bins, kitchen containers, blue boxes, and backyard composters at each compost give away event. Container exchanges are also available for those residents bringing damaged/broken containers. We can only accept cash at these events.
Will there be a food drive?
The Region and its area municipalities sometimes co-ordinate food drives of non-perishable food items during the compost events to support local food banks in each community. Watch for event advertisements in your community for information on how to participate.
