Compost Giveaway Day - Saturday 25 October 2025

Edward River Council are giving back to the Community as a thank you for accomplishing such low contamination rates in our green bins.

ERC are giving away FREE ute and trailer loads, and bags of compost to Deniliquin residents.

You’ll need to bring your ute, trailer or bags or buckets along to the Deniliquin Sale Yards on Saturday 25 October, 8am till 2 pm.

The event is open to all residents of Edward River Council.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE ARRIVAL:

• Traffic management will be in place and must be adhered to in the interests of public safety.
• There will be 2 designated compost piles, one pile is for utes and trailers (we will have a bobcat operator managing the area) and another pile is for DIY filling of bags, buckets and smaller vehicles.
• Residents at the pile designated for utes and trailers are to remain in their vehicle at all times - vehicles will be directed by staff to the appropriate spot to pull up.
• Residents loading with their own shovels, buckets and bags will be able to help themselves at a designated spot.
