What's in your bin?

UK-wide figures suggest that up to a third of an average householders' annual waste is made up of kitchen and garden waste.potential for home recycling

 

Why compost?

It's a great way of saving money and provides an environmentally-friendly way of reducing your rubbish. Having your home compost bin allows you to conveniently enrich your own soil with your own product. However, we recommend that you still use our kitchen waste recycling service for items such as cooked food, fish and meat bones and plate scrapings.

Don't forget: it's best not to produce waste in the first instance. For example, the peaches on the right should have been eaten, or made into a jam or a pudding before rotting and becoming spoiled.
