We are celebrating the first day of summer and, at the same time, the first harvest of nutritious compost. We are holding an open day at GAJA on the first day of summer, 25th April. This is an exciting opportunity to find out about the journey of food waste through the composting plant. Last year, residents of the capital region sorted around 10,500 tonnes of organic waste – that's a fantastic achievement!
Programme 11:00-15:00
Everyone is welcome to bring a wheelbarrow, bucket, or reusable bag and collect compost for your spring gardening, free of charge!
Guided tours of the station every half an hour.
Stjörnu Sævar will be giving an educational session for the youngest visitors – starts at 13:00.
Experts from the Reykjavík Botanical Garden provide information about compost.
Sausages and soft drinks will be served while stocks last*
