Home composting
The best way to deal with organic waste (e.g. food and kitchen waste) is to home compost it – if you have a garden or somewhere where you can locate a home composter bin. This can be done quickly and easily in your own garden and avoids the transport costs and fuel usage of garden waste collection.

How to home compost:
- place your compost bin on bare soil, giving micro-organisms and worms access to the waste
- add your garden and kitchen waste
- mix the contents on a regular basis to accelerate the process
- ensure the contents are kept damp (especially in hot and dry weather conditions)
- once the material resembles compost, empty the bin, examine the material and put any larger pieces back in the compost bin for further processing
- place the compost on your garden and watch the flowers grow!
