ACT partners with federal government to build new composting and recycling facilities, cut emissions by a third
The federal government has announced $13 million in funding for a new large-scale composting facility in Canberra.
The facility will be built in Hume and will process food and garden waste collected from household green bins across the city.
City Services Minister Chris Steel said the new facility was an essential part of the food organics and garden organics (FOGO) rollout in the ACT.
"It will turn around 50,000 tonnes of food and organic waste into valuable compost for use in the agriculture and viticulture of our region, and gardens," he said.
