15 tonnes in 9 months: Food trash turned to treasure
Premium Content Subscriber only Armed with dozens of buckets and keen to get their hands dirty, members of a Yandina community group are turning trash from local businesses into treasure. Yandina Community Garden has collected about 15 tonnes of food and organic waste from the town's cafes, restaurants and other businesses and turned it into compost within the past nine months. Thirteen businesses have signed up to the Food Waste Loop where they have food waste picked up twice weekly. The compost is so good that the group already has a waiting list of buyers for when it's able to sell it.
