Compost garden, food and paper waste at home
Composting garden, food and paper waste at home could save you money spent on a garden waste collection subscription or trips to the CRC to dispose of garden waste. You also get free compost! It reduces the amount of waste that your local council has to process, saving them money through reduced processing and fuel costs.
It depends on what type of bin you have. Some bins take garden waste such as grass clippings, leaves and weeds, uncooked food waste and paper and card. But some others take cooked food including bones too. You can even make your own compost bin.
Find out about the different types of compost bin by visiting Garden Organic’s website.
