Home composting

Up to 60% of your household rubbish could be composted!

Home composting transforms your kitchen and garden rubbish as well as paper and card into a nutrient rich food for your garden. It's easy to make and use. All you need to get started is a compost bin and some outdoor space.

How to buy a compost bin

To find out how you can buy a bargain compost bin for £14, please see the leaflet at the bottom of the page.

Get filling your compost bin

To get the best from your compost bin you need to add a mixture of "greens" and "browns".

For more information on how to home compost please see our Handy Guide to Composting booklet at the bottom of the page.
