Compost
Rethinking what we do with organic waste
Sending organic waste to landfill is bad for the environment, yet that same waste can be a valuable resource! Until now, there have been no options in Kaipara to support businesses and families to separate and compost their organic waste.
Starting with a small trial in Mangawhai, we are now collecting food scraps from over 50 households and businesses in Mangawhai, and diverting around 200kgs of organic waste from landfill per week!!!!
Our compost projects
Kerbside Food scrap collection
We collect food scraps from Mangawhai households and businesses to compost in our local composter.
composting workshops
We teach people how to compost and worm farm at home so they can divert their own food waste from landfill and create good soil!
