Residents within the Strathbogie Shire now receive a full organics collection service (which includes both garden and food waste) in addition to their rubbish and recycling collections. The new green lidded organics bin is collected weekly and the general rubbish bin and recycling bins are collected fortnightly.

Once collected, the organic material will be transported to Western Composting Technology’s state of the art organics processing facility in Shepparton, where it is processed into compost, suitable for use on broad acre farms right down to backyard vegie patches.

To find out more about using your new service, watch Dr Karl explain it on here on YouTube.
