Learning to Compost

Every year, the average Australian generates 180kg of compostable food waste, much of which ends up in landfills. This waste takes a long time to break down and produces methane gas, which is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Consequently, food waste contributes to 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 80% of the Town's emissions each year.

To address this issue, the Town is running a home composting initiative. We offer a $100.00 rebate on a home composting system of your choice, such as Bokashi buckets, worm farms, or compost bins.

To participate, attend a two-hour workshop explaining the systems, record the diverted food waste, complete questionnaires, and join a closed Facebook page for assistance and tips.
