Community Composting Scheme

Compost boxes
Instructions when using the compost boxes

Wooden compost boxes set up next to St Peter's Church for the Community Composting Scheme for residents to take their waste such as uncooked vegetables and fruit, tea bags, flowers as well as specific types of card like egg boxes too. The scheme was created in 2011 and since then over 100 households have been contributing waste their waste to the compost project.

Composting is citizenship for the environment because it is a natural and is good for the environment as the things that are put in the compost are not put into general waste, therefore by reducing what is put into the general waste means that less landfill sites are being used. This also means that it is a local source for lots of people get involved in.
