Thank you to our Composting Community

 A big thank you to Evie's whanau and all the other families contributing to our hot compost collective.

Everyone can bring any food scraps to be composted. Simply place in the wheelie bin by the Fordyce entrance and cover with a handful of mulch. 

We can turn food we don't want into food we do want and help fight climate change!
