Shire offers compost and recycle bin rebates to promote sustainability
Published on 28 April 2023
The Shire of Broome is introducing a rebate scheme to encourage residents to compost or recycle household waste to reduce the amount of refuse going to landfill.
The Home Composting & Dual Bin Rebate will see the Shire reimburse eligible residents who purchase selected compost bins or dual rubbish bins with a recycling tub.
The rebate is retrospective for purchases of eligible products made from January 1, 2023 if proof of purchase can be presented.
Instead of choosing a specific product purchased directly from the Shire, several options will be available to suit different households. The products can be purchased from the manufacturer or stockists and can be bought in person or online.
The rebate applies to the following products:
Successful applicants will receive a rebate of 50 per cent of the purchase price capped to a maximum of $160 for the Subpod products, or $50 for an indoor compost bin and dual pedal bin.
To be eligible for the rebate:
- You must be a Shire of Broome resident.
- The item must have been purchased from January 2023 onwards.
- You need to provide a receipt or screen capture of the purchase that show the date of purchase, the details and cost of the items purchased and your full name.
- You can’t have previously successfully applied for the home composting and dual-bin rebate.
Only one rebate per household is permitted, with the scheme to run until the allocated budget has been reached.
