COMPOST BIN – URGENT UPDATE – DO NOT BUY

Do not order a compost bin from the recyclenow website, as advertised in the leaflet which has just been distributed by the County Council.

On 5th Feb Cabinet agreed to reduce the price of these bins via subsidy to £8. The website and phone number advertised currently charge £17 for a bin.

the leaflet should not have been distributed before changing these prices and I have spoken with the Portfolio Member about this. Additonally it appears that the national company WRAP which provides funding streams for Compost Bins and promoting such things is pulling funding for Local Authorities with little notice.

As soon as I know any more and the price has been changed I will post the info here.

Fortunately the vast majority of household are getting garden waste collections in our area after discussions I held earlier this year with officers. Maps can be found here of the areas to be covered:
