Why compost?

• Reduce landfill waste: Using a kitchen caddy can reduce your waste by 33%, freeing up space in your blue bin.
• Financial savings: Composting organic material is five times cheaper than sending it to landfill, helping to keep Council rates lower.
• Environmental sustainability: Composting transforms food waste into valuable compost and mulch, preventing methane gas emissions caused by rotting food in landfill.
• Job creation: Composting supports local jobs, creating 6.1 full-time equivalent jobs per 10,000 tonnes of waste, compared to 2.8 for landfill.

How to use a kitchen caddy:

1. Line it with a compostable bag or newspaper.

2. Place food scraps and compostable items inside.

3. Once full, tie the bag and place it in your green-lidded bin.
