Compost
one of the best
ways to put nutrients
back into your
gardens
Wormfarms
and bokashi
bins can easily fit
into a balcony or
courtyard.
Home compost informationCreating compost is a great way to cut down on your waste and give something back to your garden. All food scraps (except meat and dairy) as well as grass, clippings, dried leaves and prunings can all be composted at home. Compost is one of the best ways to put nutrients back into your gardens soil and reduces the need for artificial fertilizers.
If you don’t have a garden there are still many options to sustainably dispose of your organic waste. Wormfarms and stand-alone units such as bokashi bins can easily fit into a balcony or courtyard.
There are also many community gardens that can assist and provide information
on how best to dispose of organic waste. Port Phillip Resource Recovery centre and Port Phillip EcoCentre both sell compost bins and wormfarms to
residents at a reduced rate. Contact the Resource Recovery centre on 9209 6686 or visit www.ecocentre.com

Port Phillip residents disposed of around 21,000 tonnes of garbage and just under 14,000 tonnes of recycling in the last year. This means we are recycling about 40% of all the resources we use. It’s a great effort but we can do better!
The image below shows the contents of the average garbage bin in Port Phillip. You can see there are a lot of recyclable and reusable products going to waste. Port Phillip Council and residents are working on new and innovative ways to increase the diversion of valuable resources from landfill.

Food and green waste can go in the garbage if you can’t compost or book a green waste collection.
bin placement Follow these guidelines to help make collection easy and efficient
Face the wheels of the bins away from the roadside and close to the kerb.
Overfilled bins will not be emptied. They cause street litter and can be too heavy for the trucks to lift. Extra bags and boxes outside the bins will also not be collected. For extra rubbish arrange a hard waste collection.
Everything in your garbage bin ends up in landfill and is buried that day. Before you put and item in the garbage bin make sure it can’t be reused or recycled.
Place the bins at least half a metre away from other bins, power poles, cars and other objects.
Bins must be kerbside by 6am
