Ashfield Council is a vibrant and diverse community in the Inner West of Sydney. It's a great place to live and to visit, however the average household bin is still 34.6% food scraps, 16.2% garden vegetation and 4% paper. 
When these things are put in the bin, they are taken to landfill where they pollute the air with greenhouse gases, and pollute the ground water with acidic, stinking leachate - YUK!

But! If they're composted or put into a wormfarm they become a wonderful resource for building healthy, beautiful soil, which is particularly good for growing fruit and vegies... turning it from YUK! into YUM!

So have a go at these tutorials, get in touch with us if you're having any trouble, or if you would like some advice. Residents of Ashfield Local Government Area can also get a discounted compost bin, or wormfarm. This includes the suburbs of Ashfield, Summer Hill, Haberfield, the eastern part of Croydon and the fringes of Croydon Park, Hurlstone Park and Ashbury
