The ever-popular free compost giveaway run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council is to be held in May.
All of the compost has been recycled from the garden and food waste that residents have placed in their brown bins.
Residents are invited to drive along to Carnaby Council Depot, where they can claim two free 15kg bags of compost. The bags will be placed in their car boots for them.
The giveaway follows the successful event held last year, which was well-supported by residents.
The giveaway is expected to return this May.
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.
All brown bin contents get recycled into compost by the Biowise plant in Willerby – where all the giveaway compost comes from.
Carl Skelton, acting director of streetscene at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “This compost giveaway is always popular and is the council’s way of thanking residents for recycling their waste.
“The East Riding is still one of the top performing areas in the country for recycling and that’s down to the fantastic efforts of residents.”
Free compost will be given away on Saturday 27th May, 10am at Carnaby Council Depot, Carnaby Industrial Estate, Lancaster Road, YO15 3QY
Residents are asked not to queue at the venue beforehand or they may be turned away for safety reasons.
The compost is best used as a soil improver.
