to get easier FREE DEMO Come along to a FREE monthly compost demo To find out how to set up a bokashi bucket or worm farm for your food scraps or a compost bin for your garden waste. Come along to a free compost demo:

product collected to date is single use shopping bags, including fruit and vegetable bags. The main packaging items being collected are bread bags, toilet roll wrapping and the soft plastic packaging around drinks bottles. Continue to recycle your clean plastic bottles and containers at the Ashburton or Rakaia Resource Recovery

Parks or into the yellow-lidded bins at the community rural recycling depots at Methven, Mt Somers, Mayfiled, Hinds, Longbeach Road, Staveley, Dorie, Rakaia Huts or Rangitata Huts. Make it easy to compost your food waste over the winter months. Get a bokashi bucket set up for your food scraps over the winter months or set

up a hungry worm bin right outside your kitchen door so you don’t need to venture far to compost your food waste during the dark frosty months. Hinds School students have embraced bokashi composting and have been emptying the full buckets into a large plastic blue barrel right on top of their raised bed garden.

Blocked Gutters? GumLeaf Can Help.

After putting a layer of soil on top of the bokashi fermented food waste it was only two weeks before the tiger worms and micro organisms had transformed the picked food waste into rich dark soil teaming with worms. This soil can now be spread out and planted into which saves buying compost or soil for the raised bed.
