Healthy and Sustainable Gardens
Want to keep your garden looking vibrant and healthy this summer and save water? Then tap into the Healthy and Sustainable Gardens promotion.
The Metropolitan Waste Management Group is supporting local councils to participate in a Healthy and Sustainable Gardens program. From September 1 to December 14 2007, residents will be able to purchase mulch and compost made from recycled organics at competitive prices from selected garden retailers.
During the promotion period, residents will be able to buy mulch at $30 per cubic metre, and compost at $40 per cubic metre. Furthermore, free delivery will be provided for the first 200 residents to place an order. You can also claim a $30 rebate off your next water bill if you spend $100 on mulch and/or other water saving measures by calling 136 186.
What is recycled organics and where does it come from?
When household green waste is collected, it goes to a processor where it is treated and made into quality compost or mulch, to Australian Standards.
This process not only creates a product for your garden, but also closes the loop on recycling and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Using recycled mulch and/or compost means the carbon content is able to be returned to the soil instead of going to landfill and escaping into the atmosphere. Compost and mulch can also cut your garden water use by up to 30%, and is the most natural and environmentally friendly way to improve your soil and make your plants grow stronger and healthier with less water.
