North Ayrshire Council is offering residents on Arran the chance to give their plants a boost at one of their free compost giveaway events.
On Tuesday, September 10, council officers will drop off six tonnes of loose compost at the Household Waste Recycling Centre in Market Road, Brodick. The compost will be available for collection from noon. Compost supplies are limited and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis – but remember to take a bag and a shovel with you.
Almost 12,500 tonnes of food and garden waste is collected from North Ayrshire each year. This is recycled into rich compost which is made available for use by the council and also offered to residents free.
