Your green bin, containing your food and garden scraps, is emptied every week

Your food scraps are collected in a kitchen caddy or container ready for the green bin

Food and garden scraps from Coffs Harbour City Council, Bellingen Shire Council and Nambucca Valley Council are collected ready for processing

Your food and garden scraps are transported to the Biomass Solutions facility in Coffs Harbour

Contamination is removed and sent to landfill. Remember, NO plastic, compostable or biodegradable bags (these items can contaminate the resulting compost)

The food and garden scraps are shredded and stored. Remember, NO thick branches, stumps or logs (these won’t fit through the shredder)

The material is transformed into compost in long climate-controlled bays, with regular turning by machine

Air separation and screening processes remove further contamination and oversize material

The final nutrient-rich compost is stored on site

Compost is sold to market gardens, urban landscape suppliers and the agriculture industry

Your valuable food and garden scraps are used to grow more food and improve parks and gardens

The cycle starts again! Let’s get composting Coffs Coast!
