Do you use a Cardinia Shire Council food and garden waste (lime-green lidded) kerbside bin? 

We are giving two 25L bags of compost to households using a Council food and garden waste (lime green lidded) kerbside bin. 

The contents of this bin get turned into compost for Victorian farms and community gardens to improve their soil quality. Now you can also improve your soil quality in your own garden thanks to this bin.   

Please note: registrations have been filled. If you have already registered please pick up your compost before Saturday 28 June, 12pm (midday). To pick up your compost bring your ID with the registered address to the CEC Nursery Coalition Nursery at Deep Creek Reserve in Pakenham. The Nursery is open Fridays 9am-12pm (midday) or the last Saturday of the month 9am- 12pm (midday), excluding public holidays.

If you are on the waitlist, we will contact you if compost becomes available. 

This program is delivered in partnership with the Cardinia Environment Coalition.
