Exciting news for residents looking to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle! We’re launching a Home Composting Rebate Program, encouraging households to turn organic waste into a valuable resource.
Why Compost?
Composting offers significant benefits for both your household and the environment. Here’s why you should get involved:
- Reduces waste: Diverts organic material from landfill.
- Improves soil health: Enhances moisture retention, soil structure, and root growth.
- Saves money: Reduces the need to purchase chemical fertilisers.
- Cuts greenhouse gas emissions: Organic waste in landfills decomposes differently, producing harmful emissions.
- Promotes sustainability: Turns waste into a valuable resource.
How to Apply for the Rebate

- Choose your composting system: Select a system that suits your household needs (e.g., compost bins, worm farms, or bokashi buckets).
- Make your purchase: Buy your composting system from retailers such as Bunnings, Urban Revolution Australia, or Envirohouse.
- Submit your application: Complete the SJ Home Composting Rebate Application Form and include:
- A photo or scanned copy of your purchase receipt.
