Home composting
Composting your kitchen and garden waste at home could cut down your rubbish by around a third. If you have a garden you can make natural soil improver and compost from dead leaves, plant trimmings, grass cuttings, vegetable peelings, tea bags and dead bunches of flowers. Even if you don't have a garden, you can compost some waste from your kitchen at home using a wormery.
