red-bin

Coffs Harbour Council, NSW

  • Description

Successful testing at the commercial compost facility in 2009 resulted in Coffs Harbour Council, Nambucca Shire Council and Bellingen Council areas approving the disposal of eenee compostables in their green organics wheelie bin weekly collection.   However in 2016 the waste processor has indicated they would prefer the eenee compostable nappies to be placed in the RED LIDDED BIN so that they can be composted through their alternate waste recovery facility where general rubbish is treated and the organics components extracted and composted for use in agriculture.  In this way they avoid incorrectly placed non-compostable nappies placed in the green bins due to confusion in the market place.  see here http://www.coffscoastwaste.com.au/bins/red/
