Regenerating Bristol from the ground up...

straight outta compost

Bristol household and business food waste collection. Compost Delivery to your doorstep. Food System Education Workshops. Urban Food Growing.

Our new two-acre food forest market garden is transforming compacted farmland into a thriving ecosystem. Powered by local compost and community care, it’s where we grow nutrient-rich food, biodiversity, and connection right here in Bristol.

Become part of a citywide effort to keep nutrients local. We collect household and business food waste from your property, compost it, and deliver it back to you to regenerate the city’s soils, improve biodiversity, and increase resilience.

Become part of Bristol’s composting network.

Our living compost is lovingly handmade in Bristol using locally collected food waste, wood shavings, and biochar. Packed with beneficial microbes, it feeds plants naturally, restores soil health, and closes the loop between food and land.

Shop compost made from Bristol’s own food waste.

Visit our market garden and see regeneration in action.

Keeping Food Scraps in Bristol, Growing Health, Soil, and Community

At Generation Soil CIC, we’re turning Bristol’s food waste into living soil.

 

Through our Bristol Living Compost Project, we collect household and business food scraps, ferment them using bokashi composting, and transform them into nutrient-rich compost that feeds gardens, allotments, and community green spaces across the city.

 

This isn’t waste management, it’s regeneration.​Every bucket of compost we make helps rebuild the ground beneath our feet, supports biodiversity, and keeps carbon in the soil where it belongs.

Learn How Food Waste Becomes Living Soil UK

Food waste doesn’t have to rot, it can regenerate. Our workshops, compost clinic, and blog share everything you need to know about soil microbes, fermentation, and sustainable gardening. Whether you live in a flat, run a business, or manage a community garden, you can be part of the change.

TESTIMONIALS

Jess

I've been a member of Generation Soil's subscription service for a couple of month and am so impressed with it. Alex is super responsive when I've asked all kinds of questions and you can see how passionate he is about what he's doing. I wasn't really using the food waste bin before as I couldn't deal with the sludge and stink of it but the bokashi method is so easy to follow and it doesn't smell. We've had delivery of our first batch of compost and you can see how amazing it is. The plants I've potted up with it are thriving. Great work Alex and I'm looking forward to many more bags of compost!

"This composting scheme is a wonderful way for our community to come together and do our part for the environment. Not only does it divert food waste from landfills, but it also creates nutrient-rich compost that can be used to enrich our gardens and urban green spaces.

 

We're proud to support 'Generation Soil' to build a greener, more circular local food system. This composting program is a fantastic example of the positive impact we can have when we work together as a community."
