12 months later and 90% of workshop participants surveyed are still recycling their organics, with many diverting more than 5 litres of food waste per week and making great compost.

EnviroCom has developed extensive organics recycling education programs for many Council’s, focusing on each Council’s waste strategy goals and specific community needs. EnviroCom has worked closely with the Sunshine Coast Council, one of the largest Local Government populations in Qld, to develop, implement and evaluate a multi-faceted approach to organics recycling. Aspects of the program include:

• Instructional DVD for both residents and schools, also use by businesses as an induction tool, available in hardcopy through all Council libraries and via Council’s website;
• Community Workshops in Council libraries, Community Gardens and local Bunnings stores;
• PD Days for teachers, staff and parents;
• Displays at special events e.g. Qld Garden Expo;
• And much more.
