Kitchen 2 Gardens Program

The Kitchen 2 Gardens program aims to raise awareness of food and garden waste recycling, help residents build resilience and save money by growing vegetables at home. By growing vegetables at home, residents can also reduce food waste and food packaging.

About the program

What you need to do to get your compost:

  1. Register online. Bookings are strictly limited to Cumberland City residents and 1 booking per household.
  2. Bring a printed or digital copy of your ticket along with you on the day of collection.
  3. You must arrive within your selected collection time slot to receive your compost.

How is Kitchen 2 Gardens Compost made?

Kitchen 2 Gardens compost is ideal for use as a soil conditioner. It helps to:

  • Increase water holding capacity of soil;
  • Provides slow releasing organic nutrients;
  • Improves microbial activity in the soil; and
  • Reduces compaction and increases aeration, improving soil drainage.
