International Composting Awareness Week

Running from 4 to 10 May 2025, International Compost Awareness Week aims to improve awareness of the importance of compost and to promote compost use, knowledge and products. 

This year's theme is 'Sustainable Communities Begin with Compost'. The theme highlights that when we're repurposing food that would go into landfill, we're creating fresh nutrients for the soil, which regenerates the earth and provides healthier food for everyone in the community.

Composting is an action everyone can take part in, no matter the size of your home or garden.
