These tours are part of Whitehorse City Council's Seniors Festival 2024 program and are only for people who live in Whitehorse.

Find out what happens to your garden and organic waste once it is collected, by coming along for an educational tour of Bio Gro’s state of the art organics recovery facility. Bio Gro is working collaboratively with Whitehorse City Council to divert organic material from landfill. The tours are running on Thursday 10 October and Tuesday 22 October. If this event has booked out, please add your name to the waitlist as tickets may become available and future tours may be organised that we can let you know about.

Please note that children are not permitted to attend this event.
