Cardinia Shire households can reap the rewards of having a food and garden waste kerbside bin with the Compost Giveaway.
In partnership with the Cardinia Environment Coalition, Cardinia Shire Council is giving two 25L bags of compost to households using a Council food and garden waste (lime green lidded) kerbside bin.
To participate, households will need to register. Registered households can collect their compost from the CEC Nursery Coalition Nursery at Deep Creek Reserve in Pakenham on Fridays 9am-12pm (midday) or the last Saturday of each month 9am- 12pm (midday).
The Compost Giveaway is open now until Saturday 28 June or while stocks last.
Cardinia Shire Mayor, Councillor Jack Kowarzik is excited about the initiative.
"It is great to be able thank households for the positive impact they have on the community and the environment by using Council's food and garden waste bins"
"The content from these bins gets turned into compost for Victorian farms and community gardens to improve their soil quality."
"Now our residents can also improve their soil quality and return valuable nutrients back to their own gardens at home thanks to their food and garden waste bin."
