Home composting diversion: district level analysis (0.7 MB)

UK agency WRAP (Waste & Resources Action Programme) has recently published a useful report from Resource Futures (author Julian Parfitt) evaluating the effectiveness of home composting in diverting waste from kerbside collections.

Home composting makes a significant and environmentally sustainable contribution to the management of garden waste and other home compostable household wastes in the UK. The expansion of kerbside collections of garden waste has put extra emphasis on the need for the ‘able and willing’ to be encouraged to compost at home, so as to avoid garden waste being mobilised that would previously have been dealt with in situ.
