Composting

East Staffordshire residents are being given the opportunity to ‘do their bit’ for the environment by composting kitchen and garden waste. East Staffordshire Borough Council have signed up to a Countywide home composting scheme, which means that residents in East Staffordshire can purchase reduced price compost bins and accessories.  *To order please visit www.getcomposting.com or phone 0844 5714444.

Home composting is the ideal way to waste less, recycle more and save money too. Simply putting most kitchen and garden waste into a compost bin will produce a free supply of rich brown compost, keeping the garden blooming year after year.

Home composters are available in the 220 litre and 330 litre sizes and prices start from £10.00. Water butts are also available to buy through the scheme.
