Composting or worm farming is a great way to reduce your household's food waste and minimise landfill contributions. To support this effort, we offer the home composting rebate, which provides eligible Palmerston residents with a rebate of up to $50 off the purchase of qualifying composting equipment.
Frequently asked questions
Compost systems and worm farms are great for reducing organic waste disposal but also provide rich, natural fertiliser that’s great for plants and gardens.
Second-hand purchases can be rebated if a valid proof of purchase is provided. To be valid, a receipt must be itemised and include the item purchased, cost, date and name, and phone number of the seller.
The rebate is only available to Palmerston residents.
If you wish to claim a rebate you must provide a copy of the receipt or proof of purchase which includes the date and an itemised list of the goods. A rebate will not be provided without a valid receipt.
Your compost system can be purchased online, but only from a Northern Territory based business. Postage costs are not eligible for the rebate.
The rebate is for purchases up to $50 (including GST). The purchase of a composting system or worm farm for $40 (including GST) for example would be eligible for a $40 (including GST) rebate.
