Kensington Compost

KEEP OUR COMPOST LOCAL!

The Kensington Community-Powered Compost Network is free for everyone to use and available 24/7 for maximum convenience.

There are now 5 public compost stations set up to take food and garden scraps, a number of business who compost food waste and coffee grounds, locally, and a network of shared compost bins across the suburb. The compost we make goes to support local community gardening and food growing.
