Food and garden waste recycling in Lake Macquarie has been future-proofed thanks to $2 million in state and federal grants.
The money will allow the Organics Recovery Facility at Awaba to lift its processing capacity by 16,000 to 60,000 tonnes and assure operations for another 20 years.
Organics Resource Recovery Manager, Gunther Neumann says community demand for organics recycling via council's green bins has exceeded expectations and the further support will enable them to match growing demand.
