The program aims to utilize and valorize organic waste from kitchens and gardens. Domestic composting is a natural process of transforming these residues – such as fruit peels, vegetable scraps, and dry leaves – into a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer called compost. Key advantages include waste reduction, obtaining a free and natural fertilizer for pots, vegetable patches, and gardens, and promoting healthier, more sustainable eating.
Along with the composter, the Municipal Council will offer a composting manual and promote further training opportunities in horticulture and composting, integrated into its regular environmental awareness activities.
Interested residents can request their free composter via the Green Waste Hotline: 800 210 633 (free call) or by email: div.residamburb@cm-moita.pt.
