Be a gardening hero this spring with our discount compost bin offer
Keen gardeners and recyclers can join the compost revolution with a special offer giving North Lincolnshire residents the chance to buy a compost bin for just GBP15. The 330-litre bins are ideal for anyone starting out on the composting adventure to transform your kitchen and garden waste into nutrient-rich food for your garden. Composting at home for a year can save global warming gases equivalent to all the CO2 a kettle produces yearly or a washing machine in three months.
Bins have to be ordered by April 21 (maximum of two per customer) via this form. They can be collected in a preselected time slot from Cottage Beck Road depot, Scunthorpe, during Compost Awareness Week, Sunday 7 May to Saturday 13 May – more information is on the order confirmation email. Officers will be on hand to distribute bins and give composting advice.
Alternatively, bins can be home delivered for GBP7.50.
Composting isn’t just for garden rubbish – it is amazing the household waste that can be tossed into a composter, freeing up space in your other bins as well as cutting carbon emissions:
- Wood ash from log burners and barbecues
- Vegetarian pet bedding
- Algae and aquarium plants
- Sawdust
- Human hair and pet fur
- Tissues and paper towels
- Old bills, envelopes, confidential paperwork, shredded paper
- Frayed woolly socks and worn out cotton t-shirts
- Plastic-free tea bags and coffee
- Greasy pizza boxes
More information is available on the composting page on our website.
