If you have no outside area suitable for composting, you could consider setting up a community-composting scheme.This is a great community venture and allows the processing of large amounts of waste that can then be taken away locally by those who really need it, both individual householders and groups such as allotment societies.

Setting up a community composting scheme can be fun but it also quite a big job so you need to be sure you have enough demand and support before you embark on it. If you decide it is something worth doing then the Community Composting Network is the best place to find the information you need to get started.
