As part of International Compost Awareness Week we've got some greats offers in partnership with getcomposting.com
You can get discounted compost converters from as little as £17.98 and with the fantastic “Buy One Get One Half Price” offer, and you can purchase a second compost converter from only £8.99! As well as compost bins, you will also find food waste digesters and hot composters allowing you to compost all of your household food waste! There are a range of compost bins and accessories to suit novice and seasoned gardeners alike.
The Waste Resources Action Programme (WRAP) estimates that the use of a home compost bin converts approximately 150 kilogrammes of waste per household into compost which can be reused in your garden. It is simple to do and once you get started, you will be surprised at just how much daily household waste can be recycled.
It’s also a great to use alongside our garden waste collection service and has the added benefit of producing a free supply of top quality compost which has multiple uses such as soil improver, mulch or plant feed and helps your garden retain moisture.
The buy one get one half price offer is available on selected products. A one-off delivery charge applies.
We hope you're managing to get in your garden in between the showers. Many of you have already renewed your subscription to the garden waste collection service, so thank you.
If you haven't already renewed your subscription to the garden waste collection service, don't forget, it’s now time to subscribe to the service which runs from 1 June 2019 until 31 May 2020 with no collections in December. You should already have received a renewal notice by email.
 .
The annual payment for the service is £37 per year, payable in full, in advance and is non-refundable. If you would like extra bins emptying there will be an additional cost of £18.50 per bin. If you pay by 31 May 2019 your payment will be reduced to £32, and during this period each extra bin will cost £16.
Once we've received your payment we will send you a licence letter and bin sticker to confirm you have paid for the service. Please put the sticker on the lid of your brown bin so that it it clearly visible for the crews. Any bins put out without a valid bin sticker will not be emptied.
You can take any extra waste, including garden waste and large items, to your local household waste recycling centre for free, where as much as possible will be recycled. You can use any of the eight household waste recycling centres in the Bradford district.
Don’t forget - you will need to take your residents permit with you! If you are a resident and own a van or trailer above 1.5m and wish to dispose of household waste then you still need a van permit. The current restrictions on trade vehicles using our recycling centres still remain in place.
Householders can be fined up to £5,000 and end up with a criminal record if their rubbish is found to be fly tipped. Find out more about the household duty of care.
Please don’t use unlicensed waste carriers – if you do, you’re breaking the law too!
