Lots and lots of compost!

Thought you might like to see Goulburn's first WHOLE of town City to Soil collection. Here it is - almost 100 tonnes of food and garden waste composting along nicely. David our composter extraordinaire has really got the process down pat - the temperatures have been hovering around 60 - 70 degrees, and everything is breaking down beautifully. It even smells nice!

And what about contamination? Well, I am very very happy to report that Goulburn and Marulan folks were EXCELLENT at keeping contamination out of the collection. The biggest problem we are having is with people putting their lawn clippings into plastic bags - please don't they STINK! and it can be quite tricky to get the grass out of the bags without breaking the bags up and leaving bits of plastic in the compost.

Well done Goulburn and Marulan folks! I can't wait to get out there and see how this week's City to Soil collection is going.
