The benefits of composting

• Reduce the amount of food scraps and green waste going to landfill 
• Help cut greenhouse gas emissions 
• Create free food for your garden, trees, and plants. 

Whether you’re new to composting or upgrading an old bin, this is a great place to start. 

The compost bins were originally purchased for our 2023 food scraps trial and were offered to participants once the trial ended. As part of this work, we've also investigated a range of organic waste collection models. These options will be considered as part of the long-term plan discussions, scheduled to begin in mid-2026.
