Composting

Transform your grass cuttings and vegetable peelings, into compost, that will make your flowers bloom.

Compost is a natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a free valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden. Composting is an easy way to reduce the amount of waste that you send to landfill.

Herefordshire and Worcestershire residents can buy a compost bin for as little as £8 (+ £5 delivery)

Tip
For the best results find a sunny spot on soil in your garden to place your bin and somewhere that you can get to easily. Fill a kitchen caddy with banana skins, tea bags, potato peelings, toilet roll tubes and cereal boxes and mix with grass cuttings and twiggy garden waste in the compost bin, to get a good mix.

Fact
Composting at home for just one year can prevent greenhouses gases equivalent to all the CO2 your kettle produces annually or your washing machine in 3 months(1)
