Kickstart Compost Month November 2019
November is kickstart compost month – it’s an ideal time to put your food and garden scraps to work.
Not only can you save money on your waste bills and create compost for your garden, but it’s also a great way to take personal action on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by keeping foodwaste out of landfill.
