Compost and Worm Farming

Did you know food waste makes up almost 40 percent of material in the red lid garbage bin?

In Australia an estimated $5.3 billion of food is discarded each year, equal to 20 percent of purchased food, making it the most wasted commodity in Australian households.

Compost bins and worm farms are an excellent way to reduce your waste and improve the fertility of your garden’s soil.

To see working models of a compost bin and a worm farm, or for further information on eco-gardening, visit us at the Fagan Park Eco Garden.

Hornsby Shire Council also hosts regular free workshops on worm farming and composting. For more information visit our What's On calendar or call Council's Waste Hotline on 9847 4856.
