I got a flyer today from a group called Hay Regenerative Soils. They're a CIC devoted to collecting food waste from households around Hay and turning it into compost to regenerate depleted soils in the local area. This will reduce Hay's collective carbon footprint, and close the nutrient gap.
They had a stall at the recent Lift the River event at Hay Castle.
Membership of the scheme costs £8 every three weeks - a 25 litre bucket is provided for the food waste, which is collected and put into the tumbler every three weeks. And the more members they get, the more tumblers they can buy, and the more compost they can make. Each member household will also receive a 25 litre bucket of compost in return once a year for their garden.
They can take meat waste (the tumblers are rat proof), but not dog or cat poo, and no plastic labels.
They have a website at www.haywegotworms.bigcartel.com

Finding an additional almost £140 per year will surely be impossible for many people to consider.
