Bisley Community Composting Scheme is a Members only scheme to take garden waste, 'hot compost' it and return it as useable compost to members. It is located on the Bisley Allotments. Join for £15 pa to save that long journey (and the CO2) to the Horsley tip.
We are approaching the end of our annual membership period for 2006, which actually ends on 31st March 2007 and we will therefore be asking everyone to renew their membership by this date. Following consultation with all members at the end of last year, we are taking your almost unanimous recommendations into consideration and increasing the membership fee to £15 per year in 2007-8.
While this is a threefold increase on last year, membership is still a very good deal and will save any keen gardener a good deal of money! Firstly, the petrol costs alone for travelling to Horsley come to about £10.80 for three
trips for the average motorist. Secondly, we will have a large amount of high-quality, organic, peat-free compost to give to our members this year. This will, on average, easily offset the remaining extra cost of membership. The higher income will help us to pay for our shredder and we are hoping to expand the scheme to include composting of kitchen waste in a special 'accelerated in-vessel composting system'. We are looking at the possibility of recycling cardboard as well. The scheme is generating keen interest from the local and national press and even from overseas so please keep supporting us!
