Recycling - composters
More than a quarter of all household waste is organic. By composting through a compost bin or wormery you can make a nutritious fertiliser for your garden which can replace commercially produced peat products which are damaging important wildlife sites.
New Compost bin scheme launching April 2011
Compost bins can be purchased through the Even Greener low cost compost bin scheme. 220 litre compost bins are available for £10, with 330 litre compost bins are available for £13. Residents can purchase a second bin for just half the cost (buy one get one half price).

Alternative Methods of Composting
Wormeries
Wormeries are ideal for households who do not have a garden or only produce small quantities of waste. Compost worms, kept in a small, well drained container will consume all your kitchen waste and convert it into compost.
Leaf Mould
Autumn leaves are best placed in an open topped wire cage and left for 1 - 2 years. Worms will convert them into leaf mould which can be a base for potting compost.
