Community Composting Program

TAKE PART IN THE COMMUNITY COMPOSTING PROGRAM

As part of their wider sustainability program, Palm Beach Currumbin High School has a Sustainability Hub on the school grounds and as part of the Hub, the school has purchased an industrial composter. Gecko has partnered with the school to provide the wider community with an option to benefit from their fantastic facilities.

Gecko House has a BLACK COMMUNITY COMPOST PROGRAM bin at Gecko House to drop off your food scraps, including protein.

For ease of use why not print out the list below of what you can and cannot compost through this program https://gecko.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/What-can-be-composted-text-instructions.pdf

The wonderful volunteers from Southern Beaches Community Garden pick up the bins twice a week and drop off the composting waste to the sustainability Hub at the school.

Thank you Councillor O’Neil from Division 14 for providing the bins for Gecko House!

Gecko Talks-Launching Turtle Watch on the Gold Coast-28th October in Currumbin RSL

The clutch of Loggerhead Turtles born at Tugun earlier this year helped inspire a local environmental scientist to launch a turtle-watch program. We want to improve the information on nesting turtles here on the Gold Coast. She will explain how you can be involved – and more about turtles in general – when she speaks at the free Gecko Talks on Wednesday, October 28. Turtle Watch will begin to fill the data gap on nesting turtles not just for the appropriate authorities but so there will be better response and reporting of local marine strandings, Ms Houlihan said. She has the support of Sea World, which rehabilitated and released the Tugun clutch, and non-profit Watergum group which is already involved in citizen science and will help train locals. Local knowledge and involvement is vital. That’s where beach walkers come in. Attend FREE Gecko Talks 28th October in Currumbin RSL. Boookings must be made through gecko.org.au.
