East Riding Council: FREE COMPOST given away in Withernsea

THE EAST RIDING COUNCIL will be holding a FREE COMPOST giveaway on 27th July 2011 at the Pavilion Market Car Park, Withernsea. 

The giveaway will start at 5pm and two free green sacks of soil improver will be put in the boot of each car by council staff. Councillor Symon Fraser, portfolio holder for environment, housing and planning for the council, said:

“This free compost is the result of all our residents’ hard work in keeping garden waste, food waste and cardboard out of landfill by putting it in the brown bins. Since April, when we started collecting the additional materials, 7,400 tonnes has been collected, higher than our expectations and proof of just what keen recyclers our residents are.”

NOTE: Compost will not be given away before 5pm and residents are asked not to queue before this time as it causes congestion and inconvenience to those living and working nearby.
