The Buckinghamshire Community Compost comes from a composting facilities in Sutton Courtenay just 20 miles from Buckinghamshire.

The garden waste at this site comes from a range of sources with over 1,000 tonnes coming from Buckinghamshire. The garden waste is shredded and then piled into vast compost heaps. It is turned regularly and reaches temperatures over 50 degrees. It makes for a fantastic compost and can go from garden to compost in as little as 8 weeks.

Bags are £5.50 each (40 litres) or 3 bags for £15.50.

You can buy them from the household recycling centres across Buckinghamshire - they only accept card payments.

We have donated 250 bags to local community groups, schools and charities. The stock set aside for donations has now all been sent to local good causes. We will update this page when we receive more.
