Thought about composting?
The best thing you can do for the environment is to compost your garden and kitchen waste at home.
This reduces pollution from collecting, transporting and processing your garden waste. You’ll also produce compost that you can use in your own garden.
Hampshire County Council has provided useful guidance for composting to residents.
