We all know the importance of recycling materials like plastic bottles, but what about food and garden waste?
That’s where home composting comes in!
Home composting is a process which breaks down organic materials into a nutrient rich resource that can be added to our gardens. And the best news, it’s easy to do!
We’ve compiled a collection of resources and materials available to residents of the LCR to get started. Our pack includes;
- How to Guide
- Composting tips
- Composting network membership

Across the Liverpool City Region, we throw away over 20,000 tonnes of textiles each year. Instead, they could be given a new lease of life by hosting a swishing event!
Swishing is when people bring good quality clothes that are no longer worn or wanted and are swapped with people for other items. It’s a great way to update your wardrobe and reduce the waste we produce!

Food waste: on average it accounts for just over 30% of all the rubbish collected from homes across the Liverpool City Region. We end up spending money on food that just ends up in our bins, what a waste! Whether it’s the veg you forgot in the back of the fridge, or that rice that you just cooked far too much of, it has a cost to the climate and your wallet.
Our How to… Reduce Food Waste guide provides a few quick and easy steps to help you shop smart and make the food you buy go even further.

Meal plans and grocery lists, the cycle never ends. While some of your foods may come from carefully cultivated seeds or seedlings planted in your garden, did you know that you can grow food from food?
