Home Composting

Compost at Home


Home composting is a great way to provide a limitless soil improver for your garden. It also helps to reduce the amount of waste we send for incineration, meaning a better environment for everyone.

 

Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council has worked with other local authorities and the Project Integra partnership, to negotiate a deal for residents to purchase discounted home composting bins.

You can also sign up to the council's green garden waste collection service and have all the materials that are difficult to compost at home, such as hedge clippings, branches and weeds, collected for you. This material is composted locally and made into Pro-Grow soil conditioner. Click here for more information on the green garden waste collection service.
