SOILCO

Celebrating community spirit on the green!     Last month, SOILCO’s keen golfers - Matthew Collins, Guy Mainsbridge, and Stuart Miller took to the course for the KidzFix Foundation Golf Day Fundraiser in Nowra.    Despite the blustery weather, the team had a great day supporting a worthy cause dedicated to helping sick and disadvantaged Aussie kids.    To learn more about the impactful work of KidzFix, visit their website here: https://lnkd.in/g6pWbfqB   #CommunitySupport #KidzFixFoundation #SOILCO #TheLifeGivingSoilCompany 

At SOILCO, we recognise the importance of education and collaboration in the circular economy. This week, we were thrilled to host a group of students from the University of Wollongong, who are currently studying ‘The Future of Food’. This subject delves into the environmental, political, and economic impacts of landfill, making these students keenly aware of the importance of organics recycling.   During the tour, we provided an in-depth look at our processes and discussed how compost enriches our soils and benefits our communities. By sharing our knowledge and expertise with students, we are not just investing in their education, but a more sustainable future for all.   #Sustainability #FOGO #SOILCO #TheFutureofFood #UniversityofWollongong #TheLifeGivingSoilCompany

On Saturday, SOILCO joined in the fun at the Shoalhaven Rugby Club Sponsors Day! As the Grounds Sponsor for the club, we enjoyed an afternoon of cheering on the players and connecting with fellow sponsors. A highlight was the friendly charity match featuring the Shoalhaven Old Boys against The Cauliflower Club of Australia, who tour the country raising funds for various charities. SOILCO is proud to support the local sporting clubs that bring our communities together. #SOILCO #ShoalhavenRugby #CommunitySupport #TheLifeGivingSoilCompany

And finally, from Coffs Harbour to our own backyard! Earlier this month SOILCO opened its facilities and gave guided tours to celebrate a very wet International Compost Awareness Week (#ICAW). We welcomed international guests from the DutchPowerGroup, a number of Sydney councils, and for the first time, local residents from the Wollongong City Council region.   We were thrilled by the feedback we received following each tour. The Wollongong residents who braved the weather were shown through each stage of the process and were gifted a bag of compost for use in their home gardens. Our guests were fascinated by the composting process and appreciated the opportunity to see their organics being put to good use.   #SOILCO #Composting #Sustainability #ICAW #TheLifeGivingSoilCompany
