Are you interested in the Miramar compost trial?
Food waste makes up about a third of domestic rubbish going to Southern Landfill at a huge cost to Wellingtonians and the environment.
Miramar Peninsula residents are being encouraged to sign-up for Para Kai, a new Wellington City Council food waste trial looking at ways to divert leftovers from landfill.
The trial has two parts with up to 450 households recruited to try composting their food waste in either a compost bin, worm farm, or a bokashi system. This will coincide with a kerbside collection of binned food scraps from 500 households in the area.
The trial will run for over 12 months, and the results and feedback will be used to inform a city-wide solution for food waste in the future.
For more information about Para Kai, to see if you fit the criteria, and to sign up for the trial visit wellington.govt.nz/foodwaste or wellington.govt.nz/parakai.
If you are already signed up or considering joining we'd love to hear from you - the appropriately named Dominion Post reporter Kate Green is looking at doing a story on this project. You can contact her on kate.green@stuff.co.nz
