Bags of compost to give away!

WARRINGTON Borough Council is to give away compost next month – with up to two free bags on offer per household.
From Thursday June 1 to June 16, the council’s recycling team will be giving out free compost on a first-come first-served basis. The compost is bagged, and residents are invited to  collect a bag or two.
David Boyer, assistant director of transport and environment, said: “Since the council started kerbside collections of garden waste in 2006, we have managed to compost 137,000 tonnes – a big thank-you to everyone for your support for the garden waste service.
“We are also delighted that 36,000 people have signed up for our green bin licence for 2017. There is still time to sign up and get your green waste collected this year.”
Anyone who would like to collect some compost should be aware that there is a limited amount available each day, so go early before it runs out.

The compost giveaway events will take place from 11am until 3pm at the Gateworth and Woolston recycling centres and from 5.30pm until 7pm at Gulliver’s World.
