We have expertise in the promotion of home composting initiatives in collaboration with local authorities, monitoring and evaluating home composting, and providing information, training and support for home composters and community workers volunteers, as well as local authority waste minimisation personnel.

We are currently involved with six Master Composter schemes in England: Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Norfolk, Shropshire and Worcestershire, which are all run in conjunction with the relevant County Council. We have responsibility for training the volunteers and for providing them with technical support and, in some instances, provide the day-to-day operational support.
