Food Waste Digesters

Fed up with throwing away your leftovers?

Why not transform them with a bargain food waste digester.

The Green Cone food waste digester takes all types of food waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps, cooked and uncooked meat, fish and bones and dairy products along with other food wastes such as bread and pasta. You cannot use the Green Cone for any garden waste.

Leicestershire Waste Partnership are offering residents the opportunity to find out just how useful Green Cones, Green Johannas and wormeries are at our composting fun day.
