As sunny spring has sprung we are reminding residents about the benefits of home composting.
Spring is when the garden starts to wake up and is a busy time for gardeners to prepare the garden, for blooming flowers, lushious lawns and scrumptious fruit and vegetables. This means that there is much more green waste being generated at this time of year.
So to help reduce your waste and minimise your carbon footprint why not compost your garden waste at home? You can save yourself some money by saving a trip to the tip and avoiding the need to buy shop bought compost for the garden by making your own for free.
To help encourage more home composting we are offering residents reduced prices on compost bins. For details visit www.shropshire.gov.uk/compost
Did you know? By weight garden waste represents about 25% of all household waste in the UK; food waste represents about 20%. So especially if you also add in other materials like paper, wood ash, hoover dust, natural textiles and cardboard, you could more than halve the amount of waste your produce just by home composting!
