How It Works​

  1. Collect your food scraps at home

  2. We collect and compost them locally

  3. Living compost returns to soil across Bristol

​

That’s it.

​

Food → Compost → Soil → Food

What Our Members Say

 

Adrian, Bristol Living Compost Project Member

 

“Fantastic service. They collect my food waste and turn it into compost for my garden and allotment. The sealable containers are great, no smell, no maggots (unlike the council brown bins). And the market garden concept is brilliant and fascinating.”
