Why compost
Home composting is a great way to use your food peelings and garden cuttings to improve the soil quality in your garden. It is a cheap and natural way of turning items you no longer need into valuable, full of nutrient food to use on your garden.
Compost is a rich, dark soil-like material you can produce by mixing together natural products such as grass cuttings and vegetable peelings.
How to get a home compost bin
Ealing residents can buy home composting bins from garden centres and online from various retailers including GetComposting, a company that provides compost bins to many local authorties as part of a national partnership. Other options are:
- make your own compost bin using unpainted wood
- have a simple compost heap in your garden without a bin around it
- find compost bins offered for free on sharing websites and apps
Please do not contact Ealing Council to request a home compost bin.
