Do you compost your waste?

Here at Smart Ark HQ we love to compost and have been doing so for 10 years. Below is a list of thing you can compost:

Tea bags
Grass cuttings
Vegetable peelings, salad leaves and fruit scraps
Old flowers and nettles
Coffee grounds and filter paper
Spent bedding plants
Rhubarb leaves
Young annual weeds (e.g. chickweed)
Cardboard
Egg boxes
Scrunched up paper
Fallen leaves
Sawdust
Twigs, branches and bark                                                                                            Tissues                                                                                                                                Hair

New research has found that almost half of the food waste in rubbish bins could have been composted. Did you know that composting at home for just one year can save global warming gases equivalent to all the CO2 your kettle produces annually, or your washing machine produces in three months?
