We're keen to see that food scraps and other organic waste doesn't end up feeding our landfill. Currently 40% of residential waste in Northland is organic waste which would be better off feeding the land instead of our landfill.
We run a community compost training programme - the Compost Connection - to teach individuals and households how to compost. Contact us to find out how to be involved either as a participant or trainer!

WORM FARMS
|
You can also feed your food scraps directly to the worms by becoming a worm farmer! It is also called ‘vermiculture’ or vermicomposting. Worm farming gives you the added bonus of creating vermicast and worm tea which are great food for your veggie garden. We also stock worms so that you can start your worm farm straight away.
