Residents invited to attend opening of Hamilton Organics Facility

Key points

• Southern Grampians residents are invited to the official opening of a new Organics Processing Facility at the Hamilton Transfer Station on Thursday 12 November. Community members can visit between 4:00pm and 6:00pm to tour the site and see how green waste becomes compost.
• The facility will process about 2,500 tonnes of local green waste each year, combined with 2,500 tonnes of dry organic material from the Hamilton Regional Livestock Exchange. Mayor Dennis Heslin said the project shows how household sorting makes a difference.
• No registration is needed. Visitors should wear closed-toe shoes and will be given high-vis vests.
