Garden organics diverted from landfill become compost and mulch.
A full, clean green-lid bin is genuinely valuable. The material is processed into soil amendment used on farms, council parks, and revegetation projects.
General waste catches up next week, but Whitsunday collects recycling and garden organics fortnightly, so a missed night there can mean a two week wait. If a bin is overflowing as a result, Whitsunday may offer a special collection; check their website for the process.
Grass clippings, leaves, small branches and prunings. If Whitsunday runs a FOGO service, food scraps can join them in an approved compostable liner; if the lid says garden organics only, keep food out. When unsure, check the lid sticker or the council website.
