York and North Yorkshire Waste Partnership have become partners with the Recycle Now home composting scheme, so that we can provide a range of discounted home compost bins to residents in York and North Yorkshire.

Home composting is a great way of recycling the amount of rubbish you put out for the bin men.

From 1st April 2008, the compost bin offer is as follows:

• 220ltr Compost Bin £17
• 330ltr Compost Bin £20
• 'Komp' 250ltr £40
• Kitchen Caddies £4 when you purchase at least one compost bin

All prices above include delivery.

Food Waste Digesters

If you want to reduce your food waste, a food waste digester could be what you need!  These can work alongside the traditional compost bin and will help to treat cooked food waste.

Digesters are being available at a subsidised price as part of the York and North Yorkshire Waste Partnership.

• Green Cones £50
• Green Johanna £70
• Wormery £63
• Bokashi Bin Set £30
  

If you would like to find out more about these bins please go to the partnership website www.letstalklessrubbish.com going to the composting/reduce your food waste pages.

To take advantage of this offer you can either log onto www.recyclenow.com/home composting  and put your postcode in or call 0845 077 0757.

If you are new to home composting or are having trouble with your compost bin, or food waste digesters please contact York Rotters.
