We have reduced the cost of compost bins by more than 50%. You can now get a 220 litre bin from £10 and 330 litre bin from £20. Essex residents (excluding Southend and Thurrock) can claim this discount throughout September.
The aim is to encourage even more people to compost at home. Composting has many benefits for gardens and the wider environment. There is no need to transport garden waste left out for collection. This means there are no carbon emissions from vehicles. Compost also makes a free soil-enricher that supports gardens and wildlife.
Home composting can save you time and money by making disposing of garden waste quick and free.
These benefits make composting a key part of the Waste Strategy for Essex, which we adopted in July. This sets out the Essex Waste Partnership’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to net zero by 2050.
