Home Composting
Both garden waste and uncooked fruit and vegetable waste can be composted, breaking down into a soil-like material which can be used to fertilise flowers and plants and returns nutrients to your garden. Composting is therefore a great method of reducing and reusing YOUR waste.
All kitchen food waste including cooked and uncooked food, meat, fish, bones, dairy products, bread, pasta, fruit scraps and vegetable peelings can be disposed of in a Food Waste Digester/Green Cone. The Digester breaks food down into carbon dioxide and nutrient rich water which drains away into the soil.
Green Cones can be bought from some DIY stores
