Why composting is important
Did you know a third of the waste produced from your household could be composted! Composting organic waste at home is a natural process that transforms kitchen and garden waste into a great fertiliser for your garden and the best thing is that it’s inexpensive!
Home composting is also a great way to stop organic waste going to landfill, reducing the amount of greenhouse gases being released into our atmosphere.
