Household compost

If you’re home composting either shred or cut the products up to speed up the decomposition process and bury in the middle of the pile. We recommend not overloading the pile. Composting the products at home can be slightly more high maintenance as specific conditions dependent on sunlight and drainage are required, therefore we only recommend doing this if you have the right environment to.

Garden waste bin

Check with your local council to see if garden waste is sent to an industrial composting facility. If so the products can be placed here at the end of life. We recommend cutting and shredding the products.
