To purchase a subsidised compost bin:
- you must live in statutory Essex (which doesn't include Southend and Thurrock)
- have the compost bin delivered to your Essex address
- choose between either a 220 litre or 330 litre sized compost bin
If you purchase two of the same size compost bins you can get a further 50% off the price of the second bin.
The compost bins are made in the UK from up to 100% recycled plastic collected from local authorities and require no set-up.
All you need to do is enter your Essex postcode and your discount will be automatically applied.

If a compost bin is not for you, you can build your own compost heap from materials that you have lying around.
