A select group of residents in the City of Melville, in Perth's southern suburbs, will soon be able to throw meat, dairy products, coffee grounds, dog poo and kitty litter into their green waste bins. All organic waste from their homes will be accepted into green-lidded bins, which ordinarily only take garden waste like leaves, lawn clippings and small branches.
"It's going to contain all the organics generated in the household," Steve Wacher, manager of resource recovery and waste at the City of Melville, told ABC Radio Perth.
"You can put all your fruit and vegetables, meat and bones, seafood, bread, dairy, tea and coffee in that bin as well as weeds, plants, tree prunings, small branches, dog poo, kitty litter."
Compost resulting from organics recycling is used to fertilize local parks.Read the full story.
