You can compost in two ways
1. Home Composting
Using a compost bin or heap is the best option for the environment and your garden. Also, you can compost kitchen waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings as well as garden waste.
Compost bins can be bought for as little as £15 (plus £5.49 delivery, per order). To find out more, call 0845 076 0223.
2. Garden Waste Composting at your Household Recycling Centre
You can also recycle excess garden waste at your Household Recycling Centre. Garden waste only, no food/kitchen scraps.
DID YOU KNOW?
Organic materials such as grass and leaves do not break down properly when buried in landfill sites.
Instead, they produce a liquid pollutant (leachate) and a gas that contributes towards global warming (methane).
However, if we compost these materials we will:
- Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
- Reduce pollution to our environment
- Return valuable nutrients back to our soil
To complement recycling collections from home, there is a wide range of recycling banks available for recycling a greater variety of materials.
Please remember to wash and squash any plastic bottles and rinse out your tins and cans!
