Composting is eco-friendly and economical.

So, why compost?

It’s earth-friendly - Brighton & Hove residents throw away 21,000 tonnes of compostable material every year. When compostable matter is sent to landfil it takes up precious space and releases methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere. Composting keeps fruit, vegetable and garden waste out of the landfill.

It benefits your garden -Compost improves soil structure and texture, increases the soil’s ability to hold both water and air, improves soil fertility, and stimulates healthy root development in plants.

It saves money - Adding compost to your garden can reduce or eliminate the need to buy chemical fertilisers or compost.

....and it’s easy and fun!
