Reduce landfill by using a kitchen compost bin

Reducing landfill waste by recycling and using a kitchen compost bin, helping the environment we live in and supporting an eco lifestyle.

There is a lot of media attention regarding the issues over plastic bags and landfill waste but if you consider how much waste we all generate its no surprise. All of our household rubbish ends up in landfill sites and can take many years to degrade, but how healthy is it for the planet with many man made materials like plastic? The use of plastic increases the amount of time for waste to degrade, encasing it and protecting it.

Recycling of items like cardboard and plastic for further use is reducing the amount that is sent to landfill but we need to then utilise these materials to close the recycling loop. There is a greater awareness of recycling and the benefits, with the majority of households now involved in the process. However, we can also recycle our food waste, reducing the amount going into landfill via a compost bin or putting cooked items out for the birds in the garden.

The use of a kitchen compost bin is an easy way of collecting fruit & vegetable waste, including many other items like hair and tea leaves that are suitable for composting. There are kitchen compost bins available that have odour filters and also biodegradable bins that can go straight into the garden compost bin. Once the waste has degraded into compost over a year, this is then recycled into the earth providing essential nutrients for the soil. Using the compost in our own gardens encourages organic gardening with great tasting fresh fruit and vegetables. Growing your own produce is extremely satisfying and better for your health if you dont use fertilisers or chemicals.
