A select group of residents in the City of Melville, in Perth's southern suburbs, will soon be able to throw meat, dairy products, coffee grounds, dog poo and kitty litter into their green waste bins.

"It's going to contain all the organics generated in the household," Steve Wacher, manager of resource recovery and waste at the City of Melville, told ABC Radio Perth.

Compost resulting from organics recycling is used to fertilize local parks.Read the full story.
