WORM farms and compost bins will be appearing in homes across Wagga following a series of organic waste recycling workshops in the city on Saturday.Wagga City Council held six workshops offering recycling tips and techniques to residents at the Farmers Markets as part of its Great Green Challenge.The Great Green Challenge project officer Nicola Smith said the workshops were about encouraging everyone, not just the five families and one business taking part in the challenge to reduce the amount of organic waste going to landfill.Ms Smith said there were three main types of organic recycling composting, bokashi bins and worm farms which people could find out about.Council environmental sustainability officer Lisa Schofield said while all three methods worked on similar ideas, they had significant differences."If you have an apartment a bokashi bin might be best because you can put it in a corner or on the bench, but if you have a farm then you might want compost or a worm farm," she said.
