Purpose To motivate and encourage the community to practice safe home composting as a desirable means to dispose of their household food and green waste. The link between compost and gardeners is natural and already operating successfully. People interested in gardens have some knowledge of compost, or have heard about it via family, friends, councils, schools community groups and the dedicated media. However, many householders only have a passing interest in the garden and may have little or no interest in home composting. These are the people, along with those that have existing bins, who require encouragement to actively pursue composting.
Victorians are excellent recyclers.
We regard this is as our contribution to helping the environment. So wide is the acceptance of recycling as an environmental benefit that many perceive kerbside recycling as an essential service. This is in addition to its value as a garden product. EcoRecycle is building on the strong track record of Victorians and their commitment to recycling in promoting home composting as a recycling issue, not just a good gardening issue. By composting at home, you can reduce waste going to landfill while safely and cleanly creating great fertiliser for your garden.
