What is composting?Composting is a way of recycling your food and garden scraps at home, creating a great soil product for your garden.
Compost Service
Contact Council to register your interest in a Council compost program
9205 2200
Benefits of home composting:
� Improve soil quality and garden vitality by releasing the rich nutrients in the compost into your soil
� Recycle valuable nutrients and reduce the use of artificial fertilisers � Prevent greenhouse gas emissions and reduce the amount of
organic waste going to landfill � Improve water savings � Save your money
What items are suitable for a compost: � Fruit and vegetable scraps � Tea bags, tea leaves and coffee grounds � Egg shells � Grass clippings � Straw � Garden prunings and leaves
If you don’t have a big garden a worm farm might be better suited to your needs and is more fun to get the kids involved!
For more information on how to maintain a compost or worm farm contact Council.

How to read the Collection Map and Calendar
1. Find where you live on the Collection Map and take note of the coloured area you live in.
2. Match your colour from the map to the Collection Days listed below the map. The day listed will be the day your garbage will be collected every week. The week number refers to your recycling collection.
3. Follow the Waste Calendar 2015 for your recycling collection day. For example, if you live within the dark pink area you will follow the Monday Week 1 schedule. This means, your garbage will be collected every Monday and your recycling collection days in the month of January will be Monday 5 and Monday 19 January.
