Composting
The amount of rubbish each property in Coventry generates is growing and growing. Composting is one of the best practicable environmental options for the reduction of waste. It is possible to reduce 20% of the waste in a bin without causing any environmental damage. This is more environmentally friendly than recycling as no energy input is required for transport or in the recycling process.
Making your own compost can:
- Help protect your environment
- Save you money
- Help your garden grow naturally
Home composting increases the amount of wildlife such as worms and natural predators. It reduces the need for buying peaty composts which damage natural peat habitats. Putting compost in your soil makes it healthier by increasing natural nutrients and organic matter.
