International Composting Awareness Week

2 May 2027 - 8 May 2027

Composting items including egg shells, banana skin, vegetable skins in a pile with dirt ready for composting.

The 2027 International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) theme is All Paths Lead to Compost!

Composting helps turn food and garden waste into a valuable resource instead of sending it to landfill.

Did you know almost 4 out of 10 items placed in red-lidded bins in the City of Moreton Bay are food scraps? Composting is an easy way to reduce household waste and turn food and garden scraps into nutrient-rich compost for your garden.

Why compost?

  • Send less to landfill
  • Cut greenhouse gas emissions
  • Grow healthier plants and gardens
  • Improve your soil and help it hold water
  • Make your own natural compost for free

Whether you have a backyard, courtyard, balcony or access to a community garden, there is a composting option for everyone. Join us during ICAW and discover how easy composting can be.
