There has never been a better time to start composting! Get involved in this year’s International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) running from Sunday 1 May – Saturday 7 May 2022.

The average household throws away $2,500 worth of food every year. Food scraps and garden waste are valuable organic resources that can contribute to greenhouse gas emissions if they are sent to landfill.

Benefits of backyard composting:

  • Create free, nutrient rich fertiliser for your garden
  • Improve soil quality
  • Help soils to retain moisture (less watering!)
  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by diverting organic
  • waste from landfill
