Thanks to everyone who is using Council’s food and garden organics service to keep food waste out of landfill. If you have a bin, but haven’t started, visit our website for information and support.

For households without home composting or a food and garden organics bin, almost 50 per cent of their garbage is food waste. 

When food waste is sent to landfill it rots and produces a potent greenhouse gas called methane. Using Council’s food and garden organics service means your waste is taken to a composting facility where it is recycled into quality mulch and compost for gardens and farms. 

Order your food and garden organics bin today and receive a free starter kit which includes a kitchen caddy, roll of compostable liners and information pack.

New user offer First time light green-lid bin users can now enjoy a discounted purchase fee until 30 June 2023
