If you're a Hounslow resident you can obtain a FREE home compost bin and kitchen storage bin to turn your fruit and vegetable scraps, tea bags and coffee grounds and biodegradable garden waste into a nutrient-rich compost for your garden!
You can order one free 220-litre compost bin or purchase a larger 250 litre or 330-litre compost bin at subsidised rates.
Please note this offer is for 1 bin per household only.
Our compost bins are supplied by WRAP (Waste Resources Action Programme).
For further information and to apply for your bin, please visit the Recycle Now website (see external links on the right).
The composters are black and are about 90cm high (74cm diameter) with a hatch at the bottom for easy access to the compost.
You can also order a free kitchen bin for storing your fruit and vegetable waste before transferring it into your composter. You will also receive a composting information pack to get you started at home.
Reduced price wormeries
Discounted wormeries are now available for all Hounslow residents through West Country Worms.
Wormeries are the perfect environmental solution to composting cooked and uncooked kitchen waste. A wormery is your own worm farm in a bin, the worms live and breed happily amongst the food waste converting it into rich dark compost and a liquid plant feed as well.
For more information and to order your wormery please visit the West Country Worms website (see external links)
