Home Composting

Onepōpopo a-kāinga

Food waste and other organic materials make up over 60% of the waste sent to landfill in South Taranaki’s kerbside bins. Home compositing can easily turn this organic material from a waste product into a resource.

To support home composters, STDC has developed this handy guide for how to compost at home. Click on the image to the left to download the guide.

Sustainable Taranaki has also developed great composting how-to resources. Check out the Sustainable Taranaki website for video guides of how to set up both a conventional compost system and a worm farm.
