The Rot-a-Lot Compost Club is helping more and more people enjoy the composting process. It is a free home-composting club that has been established to assist Leicestershire residents with home composting. Composting is a great way to reduce the amount of waste we throwaway and create a fantastic soil conditioner at the same time.

The Rot-a-Lot Composting club will be holding regular workshops around the County giving people the opportunity to engage with experts and fellow composters; enabling them to ask questions face to face and find out how they can improve or maximise their composting.

Club members will be kept up to date with club news and composting events through regular newsletters. The autumn edition is available below. The club also offers a dedicated e-mail address (compost@leics.gov.uk) and telephone advice for confused composters  (0116 305 0001).

Residents joining the club will receive a new member’s pack to help get the most from their compost bins featuring a kitchen caddy with biodegradable liners and a comprehensive guide to composting.

Anyone interested in joining the club can join on-line using a web form or by e-mailing their details to compost@leics.gov.uk (please include the following details when sending an e-mail:
