A compost champion receives food scraps from local contributors in the neighbourhood. Please read all four steps before filling out the registration form.
1. Fill out the registration form
See the bottom of this page for the 'Compost Hub registration form'.
2. Place your pin on the map
Go to the map at the bottom of this page and place your pin at your nearest crossroad. Make sure to include your preferred contact details including an email or phone number so you can be contacted.
3. Connect with your neighbours - use the flyers in the Document Library
You will need at least four (4) compost contributors to start your compost hub and receive a compost bin and kitchen caddies. Please note, four (4) compost contributors means four (4) people, not four (4) households, but not people from your own household.
4. Receive your compost bin and kitchen caddies
Once you have four (4) compost contributors, email the waste officer with the name and address of your contributors. You will be eligible to receive your free compost bin and kitchen caddies for your contributors. This is provided by Council one time only. Please note, a maximum of four (4) kitchen caddies will be issued per compost champion. Email Waste & Resources Project Officer at council@bmcc.nsw.gov.au
