        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 ??

            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?

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

                        There is a buy one get one half price offer on at the moment so it makes it a bit more realistically priced
