What is Compost Community?

Compost Community is a program developed by Chooktopia, a family owned and operated social enterprise in metropolitan Melbourne.

It is a Council funded education program helping get discounted composting systems into homes and gardens around Melbourne and beyond. The program supported by great people passionate about food and gardening, to help you save money and the environment.

Who We Are

Compost Community is the creation of environmental educator, compost enthusiast and behaviour change marketing guru Ella Boyen. Compost Community is a program set up for community sustainable behaviour change education for local councils on waste minimisation. 

Ella has over 20 years' experience in environmental management, environmental education, marketing and communication. She has also worked extensively in local government and understands the idiosyncrasies and requirements of local government contracts. 

Compost Community is affiliated with Ella's other ventures, Chooktopia (sustainable products and services - retail) and Wild Emu Design, Ella's web design venture. 

What we do

We empower individuals to reduce their environmental footprint by reducing their organic waste to landfill by working with the individual on the ultimate food recycling option for their household.

We develop fact sheets, videos, workshops and customised waste education to support your council and your community from beginners through to advanced composters.

Did you know?

Around 50% of all the waste Australians put out in their bins destined for landfill, could have been composted. When food breaks down in landfill, it produces methane, which is 21 times more potent a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
 

Where are people composting?
