Sadly Labour led Southwark Council is ending its support for composting and wormeries.

Free compost bins and free wormeries were introduced by Lib Dem councillor Richard Thomas many years ago.

Southwark Labour has decided to end its subsidy for composting bins and wormeries and now charge for each + a large delivery fee. Partly I guess they feel the food waste is an alternative. Cynically perhaps composting and wormeries reduces the amount put our for recycling!

Either Way bad news. So if you were thinking of composting call 020 7525 2000 or email environment@southwark.gov.uk and place your order for a composting bin or wormery ASAP before the financial year end 31 March.
