Participating councils (Vic):
Baw Baw
Casey
Cardinia
Greater Dandenong
Knox
Manningham
Maribyrnong
Monash
Merri-bek
Mornington
Yarra Ranges

The prices vary by council. They also ship to the rest of Vic and AU, but the prices aren't subsidised, just slightly discounted (no idea if the non-member location pricing is actually competitive with Bunnings, etc, or not. This isn't my area of expertise)

Shipping is covered if your council offers a discount. Shipping costs extra elsewhere, so most likely not worth it. They also seem to offer free pickup from Langwarrin.

Holy shit they even have bokashi kits

Also worm farms.

I used the bokashi bins for a while. Super effective. I dumped the finished product into a compost bin. I ended up with a compost bin that was so full of black soldier fly larvae it seemed to develop its own consciousness. I had to move house but that thing could have been my superannuation fund.

Oh boy...

I accidentally left my bokashi bin cooking for almost an entire year and it ended up infested with flies. When I popped the lid to get rid of it I was simultaneously horrified at the infestation and fascinated by how much everything had broken down. It was basically a brown ooze, the only remaining things I could recognise were some pistachio shells

Maroondah council also.

I have bought a worm farm through this before, it is much cheaper.
