Composting and Worm Farming
Did you know over a third of Hornsby’s red-lidded garbage bins is food waste?
Food waste in landfill releases methane, a greenhouse gas 28 times stronger than carbon dioxide. Composting or worm farming at home reduces food waste being sent to landfill, regenerates soil and enriches gardens.
Avoiding food waste first helps you save money and the planet, with composting and worm farming the best way to manage those unavoidable food scraps.
Learn about reducing food waste at OzHarvest Use It Up and NSW Love Food Hate Waste.
