Home composting scheme a success

Richard Parfitt from Whakatāne District Council

The Home composting scheme, part of our efforts to reduce kerbside food waste and promote sustainable gardening, was a huge success! Thanks to waste-levy funding from the Ministry for the Environment, more than 700 of units were handed out to residents at a heavily subsidised fee over seven weeks.
🍎🍕Nationally, food waste makes up approximately 30% of what people put in their kerbside bins.🥦 Given the success and the demand for composting solutions, we hope to do it again.

We're excited to see what you come up with!
