Jodie Morrison and Cat Thomas, Upper Goulburn Landcare Network facilitators, have been running Resource Alexandra since 2022. The community volunteer-led project aims to reduce the amount of organic waste going to landfill by collecting waste from the local businesses and putting it through a commercial dehydrator or worm farm. The project to date has saved over 10 tonnes of organic waste going into landfill, instead producing a nutrient rich soil conditioner for local gardeners and horticulturalists. Jodie has also been facilitating the local composting program with Alexandra Secondary students for the past 7 years, sharing her inspirational love of compost with the younger generations and the wider community.

Malcolm Coutts, Commercial Manager at Repurpose It, emphasises their mission to eliminate waste and pollution through closed-loop resource recovery, in a truly circular approach.

Repurpose It is an industry leader in making premium quality repurposed materials. Recovered resources are turned into a wide range of construction and landscaping products, including sand, soils, barks, mulches and crushed concrete.
