Good for the garden
Compost is an excellent fertiliser for the garden. Natural fertilisation is better than using artificial fertiliser. Green compost is a natural soil improver. It promotes crop growth in an environmentally friendly way, regulates water management and ensures a natural balance in the soil.
Kitchen caddies and compost bins
Residents can receive a free kitchen caddy from the municipality. This handy bin for the kitchen counter makes separating GFT waste much easier. The kitchen caddy is made from 100% recycled plastic from waste in our municipality.
With compost bins, you can compost your own fruit, vegetable and garden waste (GFT). The municipality offers compost bins for €20.00 each.
