Choose your way into regeneration
Generation Soil works with households, businesses, schools, and growers across Bristol to reconnect food, soil, and community.
Whether you’re looking to compost food waste, improve soil, or build a regenerative project, there are a few simple ways to get involved.
For Households

Turn your food waste into living soil
If you live in Bristol, you can join a shared, city-wide composting system through the Bristol Living Compost Project.
A simple, clean way to compost without needing a garden or outdoor bin.
-
food waste collected locally
-
composted biologically in Bristol
-
returned to soil as living compost
No mess. No smell. No complicated setup.
For BUSINESSes
Close your food waste loop locally
We work with cafés, restaurants, offices, and small businesses across Bristol to keep food waste local and turn it into a resource.
Our approach is different from traditional waste services:
-
sealed, pest-free collection systems
-
local composting, not export
-
visible environmental impact
-
alignment with regenerative values
We can also support staff engagement through workshops and education.

For Schools + Community Groups

Hands-on soil and food education
We deliver practical workshops and programmes that help people understand how food systems actually work.
Sessions are designed to be engaging, accessible, and grounded in real systems.
We cover:
-
composting and soil biology
-
food waste and circular systems
-
growing and ecology
-
climate and regeneration
Available across Bristol and the South West.
Living Compost
Made in Bristol. Built by biology.
Our living compost is produced in small batches using locally collected food waste, woodchip, and biochar.
It is:
-
rich in beneficial microbes
-
designed to restore soil health
-
suitable for gardens, allotments, and pots
Primarily available in Bristol, with delivery options beyond the city on request.
