Council encourages residents to recycle kitchen and garden waste by offering a rebate for purchasing products to recycle organic waste. The rebate is 100% of the price of the product up to $100. Products include compost bins, worm farms or fermentation buckets.

Compost is a natural way to improve soil quality, reduce the amount of household waste going to landfill and reduce the use of artificial fertilisers.

  1. Fill out and sign an application form which can be obtained from Council’s website or from our Customer Service Centres located in Warragul and Drouin.

    30 June 2017.
  2. There are a limited number of rebates available and Baw Baw Shire Council reserves the right to cancel the compost bin rebate should the scheme reach its maximum budget allocation.
  3. To receive the rebate, it is required that you submit a photocopy of a tax invoice or receipt of purchase satisfying the following: date and place of purchase; model of the compost bin; the receipt number; the ABN of the store where the bin was purchased showing it has been paid-in-full. Receipts will only be returned if requested.
  4. The rebate is available to ratepayers of Baw Baw Shire only and the compost bin must be installed at the applicant’s place of residence within the Shire.
