-
Why do you offer food waste collection?Not everyone has the time, space, or desire to compost. For those who can't, for whatever reason, we collect their food waste to create living compost. This regenerates urban soil health and helps us improve food security in Bristol.
-
What food waste do we collect?We accept all food waste, including egg shells, cooked food, citrus, onions, bread, coffee grounds, dairy, meat, and old flowers. We just ask that individual items that go into our sealable tubs are no bigger than approximately the size of a golf ball.
-
Who do you collect food waste from?Households and businesses across Bristol 🙌🏼
-
Which areas do we cover?We currently offer our services across central Bristol and the surrounding areas. This typically includes postcodes in the BS1 to BS16 range, but please get in contact if you are outside of these areas and are interested in our services.
-
What if I forget to leave my bucket out?Do not worry; we will return on the next collection day. If you're running out of space, reach out to us, and we will try to get to you as soon as possible.
-
What do we provide?We provide you with a clean, sealable food waste bucket and a pot of bokashi bran.
-
What do we not collect?Liquids, including water, oil, vinegar, juice, milk, and animal waste. Vegware and compostable plastics. These don't break down well and require a lot of time. There is also concern as to what chemicals are in these products so we do not take them any longer. Paper bags are fine. If in doubt, leave it out.
