Aberdeen City Composting
Community Composting is a community initiative that takes place in the locality where waste is produced and involves a group of people setting up a shared composting system to prevent waste going to landfill. The community provide the material for composting and benefit by having a way of disposing of their waste and access to free or low cost compost material for their gardens.
It is an activity that helps:
Reduce waste to landfill
Reuse a valuable commodity
Recycle nutrients back into the soil
