Waste less, compost more
Who we are
We are a local group dedicated towards creating programs and events which reduce waste and encourage composting. We are made up of residents throughout Ku-ring-gai with different areas of expertise and passion. We hope to empower the community to reduce waste, encourage a circular economy and promote organics recycling.
