🌱 Compost Collective Leeds, is a city–wide community composting scheme revolutionising the reduction of food waste. 

🌱 Did you know 200 kilos of food waste is produced by the average Leeds household each year? Yet 40% of this can be transformed into valuable free soil by being composted?

🌱 IMPORTANTLY not everyone can compost in their homes, and community composting is the solution.  

What can you do to help build the compost revolution?

Why not ‘Pay it Forward’ and donate this Black Friday?

Inspired by the best and brightest from across the UK, we’ve designed a city-wide community composting system that already has 9 successful composting schemes sprinkled across the city.

In these images: (1) Compost Collective Hunslet bin with 3 people (2) Compost Collective Chapeltown with 4 people smiling holding caddies (3) 6 people at Compost Collective Horsforth at Drury Fields (4) Four children walking towards a compost bin

If you ‘Pay it Forward’ this Christmas, more communities across Leeds can compost their food waste.

 How your donation helps:

💚£10 pays for one compost caddy for volunteers

💚£30 pays for the eco-stain to weatherproof the bins

💚£50 pays for 1 hour compost training for up to 12 volunteers 

💚£75 pays for stencils and info panels for the bins

💚£150 pays for all the equipment you need to make one community composting bin

💚£900 pays for all the equipment you need for a full Compost Collective scheme for your community! With your help we can build a greener, climate-friendly Leeds.
