The Compost Bin and Worm Farm Subsidy offered by the Sustainable Communities Program and Strathbogie Shire Council finishes on June 11. This popular subsidy provides a low cost opportunity to introduce composting and worm farming into your household’s recycling routine. Don’t miss out.
Composting has many benefits – it improves garden soil nutrition, helps your soil retain water, reduces the greenhouse gas methane (which is produced by rotting rubbish in tips) and saves landfill space (and your dollars). Fact – about one third of waste to landfill is organic waste capable of being composted. It is nature’s way of recycling at home!
The participating retailers are: Violet Town Rural and Hardware; WB Hunter Euroa; True Value Hardware Euroa; Saville’s Plumbing and Hardware Euroa
Three Easy Steps:
- Purchase your compost bin or worm farm from a participating retailer
- Pick up a voucher from the participating retailer, municipal library, Council customer service centre or Council website
- Send the stamped voucher with your receipt to the Sustainable Communities Coordinator (postal details on voucher)
Residents are offered up to 50% subsidy on compost bins and worm farms. The rebate is capped at $25 per compost bin, $50 per worm farm and is valid on purchases from 1 May to 11 June or until voucher funds are expended -one compost bin or worm farm per household.
