Composting

Home composting is the most environmentally friendly way of dealing with kitchen and garden waste. It is really easy to start and produces a nutrient rich compost that you can use in your garden.

You can compost:

• Grass cuttings
• Soft prunings
• Plants and some weeds
• Fruit and vegetables
• Egg shells
• Coffee grounds
• Old cut flowers
• Cardboard (torn up)
• Newspaper
• Straw

Community composting

There is one community composting site in South Gloucestershire. It is located at the back of the Thornbury Leisure Centre car park, Thornbury Road, Bristol BS35 3JB.

Donations support the running costs of the site which is manned by volunteers.

The site is temporarily closed.
