For the gardeners in Ashefield and those who just simply want to cut down on the amount of waste being left out for bin collection, not to mention the expense of bin tags, composting is a handy option. Westmeath Co. Co. is organising a free composting workshop on Thursday September 17 in the Arts Centre, Mullingar at 7pm.
The Irish Peatland Conservation Council will be on hand to show you how to recycle household organic waste and turn it into compost.
Booking is required and places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you’d like to go, contact Bernie Ginnell, environmental awareness officer, Westmeath County Council.
