Composting

The Council encourages householders to use home composting as a means of diverting organic household waste away from landfill. Calderdale Council, in partnership with Blackwalls / Straight, are offering subsidised compost bins to Calderdale residents.

There are two offers:

• 220 litre compost converter = £13.50. Buy one get one half price!
• 330 litre compost converter = £16.50. Buy one get one half price!

There is a £5 charge for delivery. To order please phone the orderline 0845 130 6090 or visit GetComposting|.

There are also separate composting skips for householders to deposit their garden waste at the district's five Household waste recycling sites.

Any plant material (grass cuttings, hedge clippings and tree branches) deposited in these skips is taken away to be composted under controlled conditions at locations inside and outside Calderdale. The finished product is returned to the land as soil improver.
