Did you know the average household throws away 86 kilogrammes of edible food every year? 

If we compost this food waste and our garden waste we can:

• reduce the amount of waste going to landfill 
• reduce our environmental impact
• produce a valuable compost we can use at home
• reduce our need for artificially manufactured fertilizers
• be more sustainable at home and in the garde

If you're keen to give it a try but don't know where to start, here's some useful information to get you going: 

• View our guide to home composting
• Composting - a 'how to' guide - (PDF,  5 MB)
• Visit the Create your own Eden website which has a range of helpful information on home composting, worm farming and smart gardening.
