Composting

Compost is a great resource that can be used for improving soil condition in gardens. On this part of the website you can access all the information you could need to get composting.

New! Discounted compost bins

Leicestershire residents are now able to purchase compost bins at a greatly reduced cost. Simply visit www.getcomposting.com and enter your postcode. You'll be presented with a range of compost bins, accessories and water butts.

We're also offering a great multi-buy offer- buy one, get one half price, on selected compost bins (while stocks last)

The bins on offer include the Compost Converter 220ltr for £7, and Compost Converter 330ltr for £8.50 (plus £5 delivery cost). This represents great savings against the recommended retail prices.

Home composting is beneficial for the environment as biodegradable material is diverted away from landfill, where it would otherwise rot down in the absence of oxygen producing methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

As well as compost bins, Leicestershire residents are able to purchase discounted food digesters. For further information on composting, use the navigation below.

My Services

If home composting isn't for you, the Borough and District councils of Leicestershire have schemes for the collection of garden waste from the kerbside. Residents who are not part of one of these schemes can take garden waste to one of the Recycling & Household Waste Sites (RHWS). For information on kerbside recycling services in your area, visit the recycling section of the site.
