RESIDENTS in Todmorden and Cornholme are being urged to save money and help the environment by picking up a bargain composting bin.
Council bosses in Calderdale are offering a receptacle, in partnership with Getcomposting.com for £19.98 – and a half-price offer for a second for really committed recyclers.
Coun Scott Benton, environment cabinet member, said: “Typically, one third of all household rubbish and garden waste can be recycled at home in a compost bin.
“Home composting not only helps to significantly reduce carbon emissions, it can also be used as an effective and sustainable waste management method to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.’’ The partnership is also being extended to water butts.
Those interested should contact the composting firm on 0844 571 4444.
