Home composting

Home composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your food and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden.

 

To do this, you need a home compost bin and every household in Brent is entitled to receive one free bin (subject to a £5.49 delivery charge), through our partnership with Even Greener.

 

 

Home compost bins
Two different sizes of bin are available:

 

  • 220 litres (this bin is approximately 90cm high, with a 74cm base, has a sliding hatch for easy access to compost and is black in colour)
  • 330 litres (this bin is approximately 100cm high, with a 70cm base, has a sliding hatch for easy access to compost and is black in colour)

 

If you wish to purchase more than one home compost bin, the cost for subsequent bins is either £15 (for 220 litres) or £18 (for 330 litres).

 

Ordering your home compost bin
Orders must be made through Even Greener and this can be done:

 

 

Payment will not be taken from your card until the items you have ordered have been delivered to your home and delivery is guaranteed within 28 days.

 

You can also order composting accessories such as different types of home compost bins, wormeries and rainwater butts.

 

You should not contact the council to request a home compost bin.
