Kitchen Organics Basket
Each year Council makes available a roll of 150 compostable bags to households and businesses to use in their kitchen caddies. This year’s supply is now available to collect from Payinthi (128 Prospect Road) during business hours, including Saturdays from 10am to 4pm*. If you run out of bags before the next annual supply, certified compostable bags can also be purchased at local supermarkets or you could line your basket with newspaper.
If you don’t have or are missing a kitchen organics basket at your property, collect one* for free from Payinthi or email us at admin@prospect.sa.gov.au
