In Week 7, we excitedly received our industrial composting machine and undertook a commissioning and training by EcoGuardians. This machine will play a key role in processing the large amount of the College’s organic green waste generated each day. The machine has already been busy, processing 500 kilograms of food waste and converting it into a rich organic fertiliser, free of pathogens and ready to enrich our school soils.

Our Poplars students have adapted well to our new daily green waste collection process, swapping out 20L buckets build into our existing green waste bins. These students will also work to develop a small enterprise, bagging the fertiliser and selling directly to the community. Please watch this space to find out how you can get your hands on a bag.
