The City is partnering with The Compost Revolution to provide a home composting subsidy for Gold Coast residents to divert food organics from landfill. The initiative is being delivered by the City’s Advanced Resource Recovery Centre (ARRC) project and will allow eligible households to purchase home composting equipment at a discounted cost. “With Gold Coast landfills expected to be full within the next decade, our ARRC project is delivering a number of strategies to reduce waste to landfill through increased recycling and other sustainable initiatives,” Mayor Tom Tate said. “Recovering organics from general waste is a priority to achieve this through the ARRC project. Food organics in landfill creates harmful greenhouse gases, particularly methane, which can contribute to climate change. “The ARRC Compost Revolution program will give Gold Coasters the tools at a subsidised cost to help us reduce landfill and emissions, while we look at other citywide solutions for food organics recycling.” The Compost Revolution supports local councils to provide organics recycling resources at a discounted price, with councils subsidising part of the cost of the purchased resources. Their research shows that the initiative encourages lifelong composting habits and can divert an average of 89.22kg of food organics from landfills each year. The ARRC is a high-tech sustainable circular economy precinct that will end reliance on landfill by increasing recycling capabilities and generating energy from waste that cannot be recycled. It will divert up to 97% of waste from landfill and provide better environmental and economic solutions for waste management. The ARRC Compost Revolution program will provide Gold Coast households the opportunity to purchase one piece of home composting equipment each year at a discounted price, including free delivery. Some of the options include: • The Dirt Vader compost bin and aerator for less than $50 (save $95) • A worm farm and 1kg of worms for $60 (save $100) • A bokashi bin and enzymes for $35 (save $85) When residents join the ARRC Compost Revolution program they receive material and help from The Compost Revolution to achieve successful home composting.
