Learn how to reduce your household waste with compost

Council is hosting a series of compost and worm farm workshops throughout May to celebrate International Composting Awareness Week (4-10 May).

Environment portfolio Councillor Jenny McKay said the workshops were an opportunity to learn how to reduce household waste.

“More than 50% of the average household waste bin can be recycled through a worm farm or compost bin – these workshops will give you a step-by-step demonstration on how you can reduce organic waste at home,” Cr McKay said.

Bookings are essential and should be made by calling the venue. Numbers are limited.
