Check Out Our Composting Programme!

Compost Connection is EcoSolutions’ residential composting programme. The aim of the programme is to support households in Northland who would like to start composting or are already doing some but want to take it to the next level. Our focus is to help households minimise the waste that they send to landfills and provide alternative options.

We will help you to choose the right system for your household situation based on your waste evaluation data.

Workshops cost $10 to attend and run with a minimum of 10 participants.

Participation in the programme involves:

• Attending a workshop with your mentor  
  • The workshop will be in-depth composting-covering worm farming, bokashi and hot composting.
• Completing a waste evaluation to see where you're at on your waste minimisation journey, so we can tailor solutions to your household's needs. 
• Setting up your compost system at home and starting to compost.

We will also be supporting a small number of community hubs to set up drop off and pick up services for hot composting. If your community garden or venue wants to apply to be a community hub, please contact us.

My household is going great. There are piles of different things everywhere lol.  Soft plastics, Hard plastics, paper, glass, green waste, kitchen waste etc. . . .  everyone in the house is now onboard and we are recycling more.  Thanks to you, I am so much more conscious about what goes into landfill which is even more important with the potential Dome Valley landfill.
