Did you know food scraps and organics from your green bin get turned into compost?
To celebrate International Compost Awareness Week, Marion residents will have the chance to collect a free 30L bag of compost made by Peats Soils from the contents of Marion’s green bins*.
*Please ensure you bring proof of residence to claim just one free bag for your place of residence, as this offer is only for City of Marion residents.
