THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You’ve thought about composting, but…
✔ You don’t have the time or space
✔ You’ve tried it and it didn’t stick
✔ You live in a flat or small space
✔ You want to grow food without chemicals
✔ You want an easier way to deal with food waste
This is a simple way to take part.
How it works
It's simple.
1. You collect your food scraps at home
That’s the loop:
Food → Compost → Soil → Food
2. We collect and compost them locally
3. Living compost is returned to you

-
Over 30,000 litres of food waste composted in 2025

What It’s Like to Take Part
At home, it's designed to fit into everyday life.
Food scraps go into a small, sealed bucket, no smell, no flies, no mess. It sits under the sink, in a cupboard, or anywhere that works for you. No garden needed. No outdoor bin required.
When your bucket is full, you request a swap through your member portal. We collect on Mondays and leave you a clean one.
That's it. Most members spend about 30 seconds a day on this.
As a member, you receive:
✔ A clean, airtight bucket and bokashi system
✔ Food waste collection on request
✔ Living compost returned to you over time
✔ Ongoing support and guidance
✔ Access to workshops, events, and the food forest
No garden needed. No complicated setup. Cancel anytime.
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR FOOD SCRAPS
They don’t leave the city.
They are:
-
fermented
-
composted biologically
-
returned to soil across Bristol
Some members use the compost themselves.
Some collect it seasonally.
Some donate it to local growing spaces.
The system is shared, and builds over time.
You Don’t Need to Be Perfect
There is no expectation to do this perfectly.
People take part in different ways.
You can:
Start small
Learn as you go
Ask questions
Take part at your own pace
What matters is participation over time.
