INTERNATIONAL Compost Awareness Week (CAW) starts on Sunday – and Warrington is to mark the occasion with a promotional campaign.
The borough council’s recycling team will be highlighting how home composting helps to keep garden and household waste out of landfill sites, and also produces nutritious compost, which can be used on flower beds and vegetable plots.
They will also be promoting its environmental benefits and the great results that can be achieved by using peat-free composts containing recycled material.
Working in conjunction with Long Lane Garden Centre, council officers will be at the Centre in Orford from Wednesday May 9 to Friday May 11 offering information about home composting and details of discounted compost bins to the public.
Almost 30 per cent of the waste in black rubbish bins can be composted. Many people think that only garden waste can be composted but vegetable peelings, old tea bags and egg shells can go in there too!
