    It is always worth calling your council to find out whether they have a scheme - I know mine does, as do my parents', my in laws', and my mate's.

    Usually it is dealt with by the waste disposal / recycling department.
  • Just ordered two compost bins £6 each with no delivery charge..........our local council are going on to fortnightly bin emptying so hopefully this will help.............
  • Sandwell council are offering 220 litre compost bins for £4 and 330 ones for £6. Contact them to get one before end december - if you live in Sandwell and want one of course!
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.
  • just ordered one! cheers :-)

    I was just looking at these last night, well actually it was the water conatiner I was looking at (same page) as our next property has a water meter and never had one before so was concerned about the water bills.

    Offer seems okay, I no councils do offers like this, but wasnt tempted before as we dont have a garden.
