lady compostingYou can compost in three ways

kitchen waste logo1. Home Composting

Using a compost bin or heap is the best option for the environment and your garden. Also, you can compost kitchen waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings as well as garden waste.

Compost bins can be bought for as little as £17. To find out more, call 0845 076 0223.

kitchen waste logo2. Garden Waste Collection

All residents can receive a garden waste collection service using a green wheeled bin. The green wheeled bin can be purchased from the district council for £26.

Garden waste only. No food/kitchen scraps. Collections are fortnightly, normally on the same day as your refuse. For a collection calendar or further information, please contact the Recycling Tea on 01594 810000

kitchen waste logo3. Garden Waste Composting at your Household Recycling Centre

You can also recycle excess garden waste at your Household Recycling Centre. Garden waste only. No food/kitchen scraps.

compost heap with grass cuttings, leaves and waste foodDID YOU KNOW?

Organic materials such as grass and leaves do not break down properly when buried in landfill sites.
Instead, they produce a liquid pollutant (leachate) and a gas that contributes towards global warming (methane).

However, if we compost these materials we will:

  • Reduce the amount of waste going to landfill
  • Reduce pollution to our environment
  • Return valuable nutrients back to our soil

recycling banksTo complement recycling collections from home, there is a wide range of recycling banks available for recycling a greater variety of materials.

Please remember to wash and squash any plastic bottles and rinse out your tins and cans!

Changes to the Household Recycling Centres from October 2008

It is now necessary to book an appointment to bring a van, pick-up or vehicle with a trailer to any of Gloucestershire county Council’s Household Recycling Centres. Small trailers with a load space up to 6ft by 4ft do not need to book.

To make an appointment please phone: 0845 602 9344 (lines open 9am – 5pm Mon to Fri) giving 24 hours notice. Proof of residency will be required on your visit.

Please note you cannot make appointments by phoning the County or local Councils

The Household Recycling Centres cannot accept any business waste. It is illegal for HRCs to accept any waste from businesses. All materials deposited at the Centres will be monitored to ensure that businesses and traders are not using these Centres.
