The compost is processed at the Merimbula Organics Processing Facility and is available for sale by the trailer load. Payment is by card only.
Council estimates 500 cubic metres will be available each month. To keep updated on compost availability you can download the free Bega Valley Waste APP.
Ms Vidau said extra signage and information was also available to help the community get the most from their compost.
"Council is recording some short videos with tips on using the FOGO compost which people can view on the Bega Valley Shire Council and Bega Valley Waste and Recycling Facebook pages," Ms Vidau said.
"The organics processing team will also take regular pH tests and we have fact sheets and information flyers available at the four collection sites. People can also visit council's website and download the waste APP for information."
Council's organics processing team introduced curing into the composting process last year to address fluctuating pH levels. Council has also expanded its compost processing facility to make way for the increased food and garden waste from the FOGO bin collection service.
