In the village of Thrupp, residents face challenges in disposing of garden waste due to difficult accessibility for lorries. Current options include long car trips or burning waste, which has drawn criticism. Shelley Tester from Brimscombe and Thrupp Community Composters highlighted the need for a local solution. A community composting site at Hope Mill will soon allow residents to process their garden waste, creating compost for personal use. This initiative not only saves transportation costs and reduces carbon impact but also provides an efficient way to recycle garden waste sustainably.
The system we have in place currently isn't very good for our neighbourhood, said Shelley Tester, director of Brimscombe and Thrupp Community Composters.
Instead of lengthy car trips or burning rubbish, residents will have a local composting site, turning waste into valuable compost to enrich their gardens.
