Compost Works

Food waste is not rubbish!

Let’s compost and build good soil.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make food waste composting accessible to residents in Liverpool City Region. We do this through setting up communal composting facilities and running various training and educational workshops. 

Composting is a natural process where plant and animal matter is broken down by naturally occurring aerobic microorganisms. This mixture of organic matter and microscopic life is a key component of soil, an integral part of the cycle of life.

Don’t waste your food scraps by throwing them into the bin—give composting a go!

We regularly have surplus compost available at some of our community compost sites. This is free for community gardens, residents’ projects, allotment holders or local gardeners. Get it touch if you would like some!
