Compost Giveaway Events:
To encourage the use of the food waste bin Donegal County Council in partnership with Bryson Recycling and Envirogrind Ltd are hosting free Compost Giveaway events at each of the Council’s 6 Recycling Centres during National Food Waste Recycling Week. This is a perfect example of the Circular Economy at work.

Starter packs include a Food Waste caddy, a roll of compostable liners and information on what food waste can be recycled.
The compost is being provided by Envirogrind Ltd who produce this compost from food and garden waste here in Donegal.
