Let us take your organic waste problems away.
We support a network of public composting stations across Kensington that are free for anyone to add their household and garden organics to. These provide locals access to reliable composting, and create a valuable resource for community gardening and food growing activities.
Based on the success of our collection trials in 2024 we are now offering collection services to transport organic waste from local businesses and residential apartments, in order to help them:
- MANAGE COMMERCIAL ORGANIC WASTE SUSTAINABLY
- SUPPORT OUR GROWING COMMUNITY NETWORKS

Kensington businesses can now take advantage of convenient, hyper-local, low emission, genuinely environmentally sustainable waste management developed by community volunteers, while also supporting the reliable processing and production of a valuable resource to support community gardening and greening opportunities. You can register here to get started!
These services are operated as a not-for-profit fundraising initiative by Kensington Town Hall Compost Incorporated, to support the ongoing operation of the Kensington Community-powered Compost Network.
Here’s what participating businesses have said:
It’s a fantastic initiative to promote composting amongst local businesses. Without your service we wouldn’t be composting anything and so I’m glad we can make a positive impact!

We collect commercial food and cafe waste and transport it to the most suitable local composting sites, using our custom-built compost cargobike, acquired with support from Sustainability Victoria Councils Fund and the City of Melbourne Kensington Circular Economy Precinct Pilot Project.
We provide collection buckets and can organise a pickup schedule to suit your needs. To register for a free consultation and receive our latest pricing, please enter your information here:
