If something recyclable is put in your household waste bin, it is really a wasted resource.

The materials we collect from your kerbside and through our recycling centres are made into products that can be used again. Although nothing from our waste streams is entirely wasted - even household waste is sorted and treated to make fuel - it is not an efficient process compared to recycling.

Why compost?

Composting transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient-rich food for your garden. It’s easy to make and use and it’s cheap to do.

It’s good for the environment

Did you know that almost half of the food waste in the average rubbish bin could have been composted? You can do your bit to reduce waste by composting your food and garden waste at home. In just one year it can save the same amount of energy as using your kettle for a year, or your washing machine for three months!
