Free compost giveaways return in September

Background

he council’s free compost giveaways are back in September for their second round this year. 

East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s waste and recycling team will hold eight events at sites across the East Riding, starting on Tuesday 3 September, for residents to come and collect two free bags of compost. 

The compost has all been recycled from the garden and food waste people put in their brown bins. 

Around 60 tonnes of compost was handed out for free in the last giveaway events held in May. 

September’s events will be in Preston, Goole, Pocklington, Beverley, Hornsea, Withernsea, Carnaby and Driffield. 

Councillor Paul West, the council’s cabinet member for environment and transport, said: “Our giveaways were a big hit with residents in May and I’m sure these next dates will be as popular as ever. 

“It’s our way of thanking residents for their help in recycling as much of their waste as they can – and what a great job they do.” 

All brown bin contents get recycled into compost by the Biowise plant in Willerby – where the giveaway compost comes from. 

Unfortunately, not all areas can be covered by the giveaway events, but the team would welcome any suggestions of new sites on email to wastewatchers@eastriding.gov.uk  

Brown bins can take grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, small branches, leaves, flowers and weeds, all cooked and uncooked food, peelings, plate scrapings, bones, bread, meat, eggshells and small amounts of soups, sauces and gravies. 

The free compost giveaways are at: 

Tuesday 3 September from 4.30pm – Preston, Lelley Fields Crematorium, Sproatley Road, HU12 8FX 

Thursday 5 September from 4pm – Goole, West Park, DN14 6UU 

Saturday 7 September from 10am – Beverley, council depot, Annie Reed Road, HU17 0LF
