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, with the help of pupils from Lancaster Road School, will be at Sainsbury’s, Morecambe on Thursday 29th March.

Everyone is welcome to come along from 8.00am to fill up their bags. Compost will be limited to two bags per household.

People are asked to bring their own bags, and arrive early to avoid disappointment.

Free compostable food caddy liners are also being given away on the day.

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.
