Home Composting
Composting is an inexpensive, natural process that transforms your kitchen and garden waste into a valuable and nutrient rich food for your garden. It's easy to make and use.
Kettering Borough Council has teamed up with Get Composting to provide reduced priced environmental products such as home compost bins, water butts and more.
