AFTER the success of the first compost giveaway event back in March, the council is running a second event giving away buckets of compost.
On Saturday 6 September, the council’s recycling team will be at Victoria Park from 9am with the free compost, and it will be first come first served.
Residents are invited to come and collect the free compost, and it will be loose so they are advised to bring a shovel and either a bucket or heavy duty bags.
Cllr David Keane, executive board member for environment and public protection, said: “We would like to thank everyone for their support for the garden waste service and since it began we have collected and composted over 100,000 tonnes of waste, which is fantastic. There is a limited amount of compost available during the give-away so come down early before it runs out.
“We will also have a limited supply of free home compost bins for your garden. All we ask is that you stay for a short talk on how to home compost. Staff will be available all morning to give help and advice on how to compost and recycle your waste.”
The compost is being supplied for free by Whitemoss the company that composts Warrington’s garden waste.
