A Guide to Repurposing Brown Bins

In 2023, many brown wheelie bins in South Hams became redundant due to the garden waste collection by South Hams District Council (SHDC) becoming chargeable. We have worked with SHDC to explore the potential for repurposing, upcycling, and reusing the bins to save resources.

Community Composting in the South Hams

If you've been thinking of starting a community composting project in your area, this online guide is a great overview of everything you need to know to get started. From planning the project to sourcing volunteers and becoming a community business, this guide is a fantastic resource filled with exemplar projects and resources to get you off on the right foot.
