Food Scrap FridayFor families at Camdenville Public School, Food Scrap Friday is a way to recycle food waste into soil-enriching compost. They simply bring their kitchen scraps to the Laura street school gate on Friday mornings, where volunteers collect them and take them to Camdenville Paddock Community Garden for composting. Each week as many as 40 school families are contributing.
Food Scrap Friday began in October 2016, and as of December 2018 we have collected and composted over 9000kg of kitchen waste - enriching our gardens, keeping food out of landfill, and preventing an estimated 17 tonnes of CO2 emissions. In February 2019, Food Scrap Friday was featured on ABC Gardening Australia. Watch the story here.
