On Wednesday, Project Manager Simone Dilkara and Facilities Engineer Andrew Galland spoke to a number of classes at East Goulburn about the City to Soil project that began in Eastgrove this week.
It will eventually involve 13,200 homes in Goulburn Mulwaree, Lachlan, Palerang and Queanbeyan Council areas receiving free six-litre kitchen top bins and compostable biobags for the collection of food scraps. These scraps will then be combined with other organic waste, turned into high quality compost and provided to local farmers – who will use it to improve agricultural soils and in turn, produce more food.
