Nottinghamshire gets composting

To celebrate International Compost Awareness Week we gave away compost bins to 100 lucky Nottinghamshire residents. Composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden. It's also really easy to make and use. Find out more.

Yummy recipes from Love Food Hate Waste
Make the most of your leftovers with the help of the Love Food Hate Waste campaign. Cutting down on food waste could save the average family a massive £700 a year!  

Visit us at the Robin Hood Festival at Sherwood Forest Country Park from Monday 3 – Wednesday 5 August to find out more and taste some of the yummy ways you can use up leftovers.


Plastic bottles

Recycle home and away this summer

The humble plastic bottle has never been so much in demand and now with summer here and an abundance of sporting events, its use is set to soar.

We've been using plastic bottles for over 65 years from water to soft drinks, shampoo to bleach, olive oil to garden fertiliser, in fact, we use a staggering 15 million of them every day in the UK alone.

Please wash and squash where possible and add your plastic bottles without their tops to your kerbside recycling bin.
