Why compost?

Composting is a great way of transforming your kitchen and garden waste into a useful resource for your garden. Composting is a natural process where kitchen and garden waste rots down to produce compost, a dark brown earthy material which can be used with in your garden to improve the soil and add nutrients, to help plants and flowers grow.

Another reason to compost is that around 40 per cent of the average dustbin contents are suitable for home-composting so by composting at home it helps cut down on landfill too.

Garden Waste Bags

We will no longer be able to supply replacement green garden waste bags until Spring 2010. In the meantime, please collect any garden waste you have in bin liners. On your next collection day place the bin liners untied at the kerbside and they will be emptied as normal.
