About 1400 households in Stockland’s Truganina estates interested in reducing landfill can access a $120 voucher designed to help them start composting household waste.
Home owners in the Mt Atkinson and Grandview Stockland estates in Truganina can use the $120 voucher on products including worm farms, compost bins and garden beds.
In partnership with social venture Compost Revolution, the program has been designed to educate and equip Stockland’s residents to better dispose of organic waste.
Stockland national sustainability manager Amy Hogan said about 50 per cent of Australian household rubbish was compostable.
“This program will help to educate the community, increase resilience, and empower our residents to dispose of organic waste appropriately and reduce their own carbon footprint,” she said.
“When we launched our pilot program across four of our communities in 2020, we saw a great response from residents, resulting in more than 15,000 kilograms of CO2 emissions saved.”
Compost Revolution chief composting officer David Gravina said the company was excited to offer composting to more people.
“The partnership makes it affordable and easy for Stockland’s households to nurture their gardens and grow healthy, organic food for their families,” he said.
