Composting & Worm Farms
Council encourages residents to compost their food scraps and garden waste to reduce the amount of waste being sent to landfill.
Compost
Composting is a natural process that is easy, inexpensive and great for the garden. Council has prepared a Composting Fact Sheet to help answer all your composting questions.

Worm Farms
Worm farms are a simple way to recycle food scraps. They take up little space and can even be kept indoors. The worms eat fruit and vegetable scraps and turn them into liquid and a rich soil-like substance called castings that can be put on the garden or in pot plants as fertiliser.
Council has prepared a Worm Farm Fact Sheet to answer all your questions about worm farms.
