Composting
Composting is a great way to recycle your food waste and garden waste into something that's good for your garden. Much of your kitchen waste, including fruit and vegetable scraps, teabags, coffee grounds and egg shells, can be composted.
To help you get started, here are details of current available offers on compost bins for residents in Horsham District.
Hot Bin offers
A Hot Bin can take cooked food waste (including bones), peelings, pet waste and more and turn it into rich compost in 30 – 90 days by heating the waste up to 60°C. The result is a nutrient-rich compost for your garden for minimal effort and reduced food waste in your rubbish bin. See how our recycling champions got on with their hot bin trials.
