Delighted to announce, Compost Collective Leeds (CCL) won the best community composting award at the Feed Leeds Food Growing Awards. Congratulations to Annie Whitehead, for all of her hard work and achieving so much.
Compost Collective Armley is coming soon to Charlie Cake Park (officially called Whingate Park). This will be the tenth Compost Collective scheme across Leeds. This means we have achieved one of our big milestones, as Food Transition Partner for Climate Action Leeds. Now that’s something to shout about! Want to get involved? Get in touch with Armley Common Rights Trust or Climate Action Armley.
Inspiration Nursery have almost filled their second compost bin and are really excited about how much food waste they have diverted from landfill and the future free soil they are producing for their raised beds in the school gardens. And there’s more! Horsforth Community Compost Collective got the go ahead from Leeds City Council to build more composting bins on public land.
And the numbers are in for 2024: Didn’t we do well!
1,963 kgs of material was diverted from landfill.
We set up 7 new schemes, worked with 11 new organisations and built 19 compost bins.
We trained 110 volunteers (and 96 are still active!)
