Key points
5 things to know- Food waste in landfill produces methane; composting it does not.
- Compost improves soil, replaces chemical fertiliser and reduces rubbish collections.
- It needs space, commitment and care — the right mix of "green" and "brown" waste, moisture and turning.
- Meat, bones and dairy need other methods, such as a bokashi bin.
- Weighing the waste would show how much is kept out of landfill.
- Choose a composter design and location.
- Add simple signage, a staff training guide and colour-coded bins.
- Use the compost on our properties and share it with local farmers.
