We are encouraging residents to reduce waste and improve their gardens this International Compost Awareness Week (4 to 10 May 2025), with a special £5 compost bin offer to support home composting.

In partnership with Getcomposting.com, we are offering 220 litre Blackwall Compost Converters for just £5.00 plus delivery - a great reduction from the usual retail price of £49.99. So, it’s the perfect time to start turning your kitchen and garden waste into rich, free compost.

More than 30% of the average household waste can be composted, with this incredible offer, we’re encouraging more people to give home composting a try. It’s easy, cost-effective, and a brilliant way to reduce your carbon footprint. Plus, you’ll create a free source of nutrient-rich compost to feed your garden.

Since teaming up with Getcomposting in 2010, Worcestershire has sold over 20,000 compost bins, helping save nearly £2 million in waste disposal costs. According to WRAP (Waste Resources Action Programme), composting at home can divert up to 150kg of waste per household each year - a big win for your garden and the environment.

With food waste collections set to roll out in 2026, now’s the ideal time to get ahead. Composting is perfect for fruit and veg peelings, tea bags, eggshells, coffee grounds, and more,  and it’s a smart alternative to chargeable garden waste collections.

Whether you’re new to composting or a green-fingered pro, there’s a wide range of bins and accessories available.
To order your £5 compost bin, visit www.getcomposting.com or call 0844 571 4444.
