Why compost
When waste is sent to landfill, air cannot get to the organic
waste. Therefore as the waste breaks down it creates a harmful
greenhouse gas, methane, which damages the Earth's atmosphere.
However, when this same waste is composted above ground at home,
oxygen helps the waste to decompose aerobically which means hardly
any methane is produced, which is good news for the planet. And
what's more, after nine to twelve months, you get a free fertiliser
for your garden and plant pots to keep them looking
beautiful.Special offer home compost bins
