Environment Rubbish, waste and recycling Composting your waste
Have a go at home composting and turn your garden waste and kitchen peelings into something useful.
Find out more about why you should compost, how to compost and what to do with your compost.
If you do not have a garden
You can still recycle your kitchen scraps by using a wormery. Some people even use a wormery as well as having a compost bin.
Wormeries can be bought from lots of places including large garden centres, or you can even make your own.
If you have a small garden
Most gardens will take a compost bin as they only take up a small area on the ground.
If you feel that the bins would be too intrusive in a small garden then plant it in a far corner away from the house. Maybe grow a plant up it or in front of it. You'll be amazed how quickly it starts to blend in.
