 * Maroondah City Council recycling collection**

This is a daily job. Food waste goes into a bucket in kitchen and a small quantity of EcoBokashi is added before being placed into one of two black bins near staffroom entrance. Bins are rotated as they fill up. Fermented waste is added to compost bin in food garden. Compost mate (metal screw like pole) is used to help mix the compost with the new food waste. The compost mate is located in the garden shed. Small quantity of soil added to cover new waste just added. Each black bin seems to be take a couple of weeks to fill and does pack down over time as the waste ferments. Once bins are full and have been fermented the reamisns are then buried into garden bed, currently in the compost bins in the food garden.
