Recycling
Home composting
Did you know you can recycle your organic kitchen waste as well as your garden waste for a more beautiful garden?
Composting is easy to make and also very good for the environment and you will even benefit from:
- Improved balance and structure of your garden's soil
- Savings, by reducing reliance on peat-based composts and man made fertilizers
- Save space in your waste bin by reducing kitchen waste
- Helping prevent needless amounts of your waste going to increasingly expensive landfill sites which produce greenhouse gases
Compost grass clippings, plant prunings, used teabags and fruit and vegetable peelings. Over time it will breakdown into a healthy soil improver for your plants and shrubs.
The price of the compost bins for South Tyneside residents are offered at a significant discount compared to the normal R.R.P and start from as little as £17 including delivery.
There are three different sizes available and two different styles to choose from. Made from 75-100% recycled material.

South Tyneside Council and the Recycle Now Compost At Home Campaign are teaming up throughout 2008.
