Householders in Lichfield and Burntwood are being offered a discount on compost bins.

Staffordshire County Council is giving people the chance to create food for their gardens by using uncooked kitchen waste and garden rubbish.

The compost bins are £10, plus £5.99 postage.

Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for commercial, Cllr Mark Deaville, said:

Oliver taking waste to the composting bin

> “Composting is a really easy and environmentally-friendly way to dispose of garden and appropriate food waste.  
>  
> “We ran a similar campaign last year which proved very successful, getting more people composting, so we’re pleased to be back with another scheme.  
>  
> “People might not realise this, but around 40% of the average household waste can be composted, so we’re encouraging more people to get involved.  
>  
> “Home composting organic waste helps to significantly reduce carbon emissions which is also good for the planet and the environment.  
>  
> “We only have a limited number of bins available so we’d urge people to get in touch as soon as possible.”  
>  
> Cllr Mark Deaville, Staffordshire County Council
