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.

Most food digesters can take uncooked kitchen waste such as peelings and teabags as well as cooked waste including meat, fish and dairy. Food digesters then turn the waste into food for your plants or garden in the form of soil improvers, liquid fertilisers or healthy nutrients. Take care when choosing a food digester. There are a number of different varieties available. Make sure you pick a food digester that is suitable for you and the kind of waste you create. Whatever your needs, there is a food digester to suit you!

Composting information

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.
