Further information
Home Composting
If you would like to try home composting, Leicestershire County Council has been successful in obtaining funding for the supply of discounted home compost bins. These are available at a discounted price and the offer is available to all residents of Leicestershire, including Leicester City.
Food Digesters
The Council is unable to collect food waste from the kerbside at present. To enable Leicestershire residents to compost their own food waste, Leicestershire Waste Partnership is funding a campaign to promote food digesters.
