The Recycle Now Home Composting Campaign is a government funded scheme to encourage people to reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfill. Recycle Now subsidises the cost of the bins and the home delivery.


The scheme will play its part in the nation-wide drive covering 6.5million households across England and Scotland to promote the recycling of kitchen and garden waste and reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill. Around a third of the rubbish we produce can be composted at home.
Residents will be surprised to discover that it's not just fruit and vegetable peelings and prunings that can go in the compost bin - cardboard, eggshells and teabags make for great compost too.
A Home Composting Advisor will be working closely with the Essex Councils. Local residents can call 0845 077 0757 for advice and information on home composting.
