Landfilling Organics
• Produces methane emissions (potent greenhouse gas)
• Loss of a valuable resource

Benefits of Organics Diversion
• Extends the lifespan of landfills– Landfill closure costs are high– Building a new landfill is expensive

Benefits of Organics Diversion• Avoid WRARS levy of $10/tonne• Material can be composted/chipped locally, reducing
transportation costs• Revenue from selling finished • compost/wood chips• Costs avoided by using
finished compost/wood chips instead of purchasing

What is Composting?• Composting is the biological
decomposition of organic material carried out under controlled aerobic conditions, undergoing a thermophilic phase that produces compost.
• Compost is a mature solid product that has undergone the composting process and can be used as a soil amendment without causing environmental harm.
