Food waste collections would be rolled out to every Canberra household faster under an ACT Greens proposal that would scrap a large-scale compostor in favour of a series of smaller solutions.
A decentralised composting network would handle Canberra's food waste and cut the need for a multi-million dollar industrial composting facility, which has been promised by the ACT government, Jo Clay, the Greens' member for Ginninderra, said.
"They were meant to build it and roll it out by this year. They haven't done that ... I think at this point we just need to get on with the things that we know will work. It will be cheaper for the people of Canberra. It will give us real climate action sooner," Ms Clay said.
