Local residents can reap the rewards of food and green waste recycling by collecting free compost made from the waste collected from green bins.

Lancaster City Council will be giving away the compost at Sainsbury’s, Morecambe on Tuesday 12th July.  Everyone is welcome to come along from 9.00am to fill up their bags.

Bring your own bags if possible and arrive early to avoid disappointment.

The compost is made from the food and garden waste that people recycle in their green bins, and is suitable for all types of plants.
