Ballina Shire Council and other organisations have partnered together to celebrate Compost Week in early May.
International Compost Awareness Week is being observed from May 2 to 8 and this year it has the theme “Better Soil, Better Life, Better Future”.
The idea is to boost awareness of the role compost has as a valuable resource and to promote its use.
The council together with North East Waste, Ballina Community Garden and The Story Tree have arranged a morning of free activities for all ages from 9.30am to 12pn on Sunday, May 2.
“We’re really pleased with this result as it contributes to a circular economy where food scraps and garden waste are composted into a soil improver, which is then used to support the growing of more food and plants. The cycle has the capacity to continue perpetually,” the council’s waste education officer Samala Heart said.
