Compost rebate

Did you know that around 37 percent of the average household garbage bin is compostable? Processing appropriate food and garden waste in a compost bin or worm farm is a great way to divert waste from landfill and to turn these organic materials into a rich garden fertiliser.

We are making your purchase of an organic recycling system easier with a Compost bin and worm farm rebate program.

The program provides a rebate of up to $50. This rebate is provided as a digital debit card that you can download to your phone and use for any purchases either online or in stores.

To read more about our Terms and Conditions, see Compost bin and worm farm rebate terms and conditions.

  • buy your compost system - the system could be a compost bin, worm farm, bokashi or similar composting system. Be sure to keep your receipt as proof of your purchase.
  • claim your rebate by completing our online form.
