FAQs

Does the Council have information on compost bins?

There are certain materials, such as food waste, which we can't collect via our garden waste scheme.

Raw and cooked fruit and vegetables can be composted in a home composter, as well as: pet bedding, tea bags, stale bread, pasta, eggshells, coffee grounds, sawdust, straw/hay, napkins and paper towels, egg cartons, tumble drier lint and vacuum cleanings.

These items should not be composted: meat, fish, bones, dairy products, fats and oils, whole eggs, weeds which have gone to seed, kitty litter.
