Date Time Organics bin trial coming to Rockhampton Council is set to make an exciting step toward a zero waste future with plans to roll out a trial for a kerbside organics bin later this year. The trial is made possible thanks to funding from the Queensland Government. Rockhampton Region Mayor Tony Williams said this is a very exciting opportunity for our region. “I really want to thank the Queensland Government for enabling us to roll out this trial,” Mayor Williams said. “At the moment organic matter is taking up more than half the average kerbside general waste bin. “Not only is this bad for the environment, it really is a waste when this matter can be recovered and turned into soil, mulch and compost.
