Worm Farms and Composting
Worm farms and composts are a great way of getting rid of food waste in your centre!
You can either purchase a worm farm or composting system or even make your own out of recycled materials.
If you centre is within the Brisbane City Council region, you may be eligible for a rebate if you purchase a new composting system.
After you have set up your system, it is important to educate your centre staff and children on what material can and cannot go in it! Ensure you have food scrap collection bins in the right areas as well e.g. kitchen, eating areas, classrooms. You can even make a roster for your classrooms – each day, one class is in charge of emptying these bins into the compost or worm farm!
