Do your Bit for the Planet…
…and compost at home. Latest figures show that around a third of the contents of an average refuse bin is organic waste which could be composted. It is proven that composting at home is a great way to prevent this waste going to landfill, where it releases methane, a major greenhouse gas.
Composting at home will give you free, nutrient-rich plant food for your garden, so if you wish to have a more hands on approach to recycling, compost bins are now being offered at discounted rates within the Nottinghamshire District. Home Composting gives you the opportunity to recycle garden and organic kitchen waste without transporting the waste from where it has arisen. Mansfield District Council is working in partnership with Nottinghamshire Local Authorities and WRAP (the Waste and Resources Action Programme) to sell home compost bins at a significantly reduced price.
Please contact the Recycling Helpline on 01623 463463 for more information or ring 0845 073 2001 or visit www.recyclenow.com/compost to place your order.
