You can compost with us too!
We are a ShareWaste host and you can organise a compost drop off via the ShareWaste map. ShareWaste connects people who wish to recycle their food scraps with their neighbours who are already composting, worm-farming or keep farm animals.
It’s composting without actually doing the composting!
Now you can divert organic material from landfill while getting to know the people around you! To see what you can compost with us, visit our ShareWaste profile below. We are in St. Andrews NSW, 2566.
Please note, to drop off your compost you must organise a time to do so via ShareWaste.
