Compost Awareness Week 2008

 

Compost Awareness Week aims to encourage more people to recognise the benefits of home composting and the great results that can be achieved by using peat-free composts containing recycled materials in the garden. The week was brought to the UK by The Composting Association and now forms a key part of WRAP and The Composting Association's (TCA) annual calendar.

As a nation we produce around 30 million tonnes of rubbish each year and over half of this waste can be easily recycled. In fact, over one third of the contents of an average UK household dustbin can be home composted, not to mention all the garden waste that can be added to a compost bin. Yet many people still do not recognise how important and simple this is to do.

 

Compost Awareness Week is our chance to help people get closer to the benefits of compost. There are plenty of activities going on across the country, so don't miss your chance to take part. If everyone gets involved in spreading the compost message, we can all help to create a cleaner environment for future generations.
