The Hills Shire, NSW conducts first-in-Australia apartment complex worm farm pilot

The Hills Shire, NSW Apartment Complex Worm Farm Pilot First

Twenty apartments in North Kellyville dispose of their food waste in an underground worm farm. The castings produced by the farm condition soil in a shared garden along with individual gardens. A volunteer building champion organizes fellow participants and educates their neighbors. Shire officials approved the three-month pilot in response to a recent shift from homeownership to renting. This trial fits into council waste initiatives including discounted composting bins.
