An incredible 9,000 Bokashi Bins were distributed across the Borough in 2007. This offer has now ended but there are details below on where you can purchase a Bokashi bin.
Bokashi Bins are 18 litre, counter top composters, which can be used to compost virtually 100% of all kitchen waste, including meat, fish, dairy products and cooked food, and are a great way to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill.
The system uses a natural bran-based activator called Bokashi, which is coated in friendly bacteria.
Food waste is placed into the container along with a handful of Bokashi and on fitting the lid the composting process starts.
After just a few weeks the contents of the container can be added to your home composting bin, or mixed into the soil in your garden, without the fear of attracting flies.
The list below details the materials that can and can’t be included to your bin:

All cooked and uncooked food waste including:
