Home composting facilities – clarification

Home composting facilities are individual composting containers placed within the kitchen area or communal space for each self-contained dwelling, bedsit or communal kitchen.

These containers are either emptied into local on-site communal facilities or are collected by composting collection services run by the waste collection authority.

Individual composting containers should be:

  1. Located in a dedicated, non-obstructive position.
  2. Easily accessible to all users.
  3. Durable, low maintenance and cleanable.
  4. Enclosed to manage odour and pest issues.
