Hi
I live in Lambeth(London)
From their website
www.Lambeth.org.uk/environment
They subsidise compost bins from Blackwall 0870 849 4877
220 litre compost bin £10.50 + £5.00 delivery
330 litre compost bin £13.50 + £5.00 delivery
Don't know if this is cheapDon't let the past become your future
Change for the better0 -
I paid £8 for the small bin from Nuneaton Council :jJust owe Dad £2500 for a new car

Paid off car loan 22nd August 2009. :T0 -
We are going to get a bin from the council when we move, they offer a huge one for £20 that usually retails for over £100!
What's that, a council doing something right for a change? :eek:0 -

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.0 -

I hope you have more success with the green 'Dalek' type than I have had over the years. I have followed all the instructions and find them poor.
I have reverted to the big compost pile at the bottom of the garden.0 -
DH built me a big double New ZEaland Box compost bin from tanalised timber. Our design is from a Geoff Hamilton book (Ornamental Kitchen garden, I think). A similar design is here.
It may not be a cheap as a plastic one, but it's a brilliant design, and works brilliantly.

Lidl were recently selling them for £4-99. May be worth trying there.
Only when the last tree has died
and the last river has been poisoned
and the last fish has been caught
will we realise we cannot eat money0
