Get your discount compost bins for autumn leaves

Do your bit for the environment by composting this autumn. Working in partnership with a number of local authorities, the Recycle Now campaign is encouraging keen and novice gardeners alike to take advantage of the final days of a number of bargain compost bin offers being run by local authorities. But you'll need to hurry, as the scheme ends on 30 September.

Carl Nichols, Head of Home Composting at Recycle Now, says:
"Autumn is a great time to get composting as we all tend to have a clear-up in the garden before winter sets in. Leaves, grass and clippings put in with general waste end up in landfill where they release harmful greenhouse gases as they break down - composting at home helps reduce this problem."

Compost bins will be available to order from as little as £22. Thousands of compost bins have already been sold nationwide since the scheme, supported by WRAP and Recycle Now was set up. The offer is designed to help people get composting and do their bit for the environment.
