Dunno about "other useful bits and pieces" but council deals for composters are listed (after you put in your postcode) on this site I think ??

getcomposting.com | Composting is not just for gardeners - it helps the environment too!

[veggiechicken]

^^^ It doesn't include all councils, including mine

[Kristen]

Hmmm ... I thought there was a site that had them all? Or have I, all this time, just been fooled by one supplier's website that has seemed to be that information?

[veggiechicken]

I tried 2 different councils (both in Wales) and neither were listed.

I'm still laughing at the "so called" discount prices offered for Sheffield. The phrase, "How Much?" comes to mind.

My council is not listed either but the site very kindly forwarded me to somewhere I could purchase one!
