A DECORATE Your Bin competition is being held as part of International Compost Awareness Week.
Held from Monday to Sunday May 6-12, the week aims to encourage families to get composting, and the “Decorate Your Compost Bin” competition has been devised as a fun challenge for all ages to get creative and win a prize.
Research suggests that 30 per cent of household waste is organic and can be composted, turning kitchen and garden waste into a nutrient rich food for your garden.
Cllr David Keane, executive board member for environment and public protection, said: “Many think that only garden waste can be composted but vegetable peelings, old tea bags and egg shells can go in there too!”
