Follow Your Organic Waste Tour
2025-09-16 10:00 - 13:00 | Brimbank Civic Centre, 301 Hampshire Rd, Sunshine, Victoria, 3020, Australia
Small actions like correctly sorting your kitchen scraps and garden clippings into your food and garden organics bin can make a big impact. Your food and garden waste can be turned into compost instead of ending up in landfill. This helps conserve our valuable resources and minimise greenhouse gases.
Come and find out how the food and garden waste collected from your kerbside is turned into nutrient rich composts and mulches at Veolia’s Bulla facility using their state-of-the-art technology.
Veolia is working collaboratively with Brimbank City Council to divert organic material from landfill. This facility processes 85,000 tonnes of organic material annually from 11 North-Western Councils. Learn more about our roundabouts project which used 150 tonnes of compost at 80 roundabouts in Brimbank.
The tour will depart from the Brimbank Community Civic Centre, 301 Hampshire Road, Sunshine at 10am. We will tour the facility, speak to the staff overseeing operations and our minibus will return to Sunshine by 1:00pm.
Please note: You must wear covered flat shoes e.g. no high heels or sandals, and appropriate clothes to cover your skin such as pants and long sleeves. You will be provided with a high visibility vest and safety glasses to wear on site.
This tour is only for people who live in Brimbank City Council.
Spaces are limited – please email environment@brimbank.vic.gov.au if you can no longer attend.
