Did you know that around 37 per cent 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.
The Rebate Program
- Logan residents who purchase one compost bin, compost aerator, worm farm or Bokashi composting system on or after 1 July 2021 may apply for a rebate of up to $50 (one item and one claim per residence only).
- The Rebate Program cannot be claimed for a compost bin, aerator, or worm farm purchased before 1 July 2021.
- The Rebate Program is strictly limited to the purchase of one compost bin, compost aerator, worm farm, worms or Bokashi composting system only. It cannot be claimed for the purchase of similar products including carbon material, worm farm conditioner, Bokashi grains or compost accelerator.
- The Rebate Program amount is capped at $50 per household. If a person spends an amount equal to or less than $50 on the purchase of a compost bin, compost aerator, worm farm or Bokashi composting system, then they will receive a rebate amount to the exact value of the purchase amount. If the purchase amount of the compost bin, compost aerator, worm farm, worms or Bokashi composting system exceeds $50, the maximum rebate that a person can receive is $50.
- Any additional costs or expenses incurred in connection with this Rebate Program, including for postage or delivery of goods are the responsibility of the person claiming the rebate.
Rebate Program commencement
- The Rebate program will be available for valid purchases from Wednesday 1 July 2021 and will remain open until Council notifies the cessation of the Rebate Program.
