Community Garden and Compost Working Bee

COMMUNITY FOOD SCRAPS  FOR COMPOST HUB 

Newton Central School has partnered with the organisation Doughnut Economics Advocates NZ (DEANZ), to  compost local community food scraps. We are on a mission to divert as much food waste in our community away from the landfill and into our community compost bins. We will transform your food scraps into a valuable resource to help grow vegetables and promote a circular system of food production. 

Drop off procedure: Simply empty your food scraps into our collection bins on any day or time that suits you. We can even provide you with a free 10L container for your food scraps. Our collection bins are located at the end of Waima Street along the Newton Central School fence, before the walking/cycling bridge.
