Waste and recycling

Kitchen composters or Bokashi system

Food can now be turned into nutrient rich garden compost AND concentrated liquid plant feed. This includes cooked or raw meat, fish or dairy products.

To make it easy, a Kitchen Composter 2 Pack kit is now available which can be kept and used in the kitchen.

Simply place any left over food into the airtight Kitchen Composter, sprinkle in a handful of Bokashi activator and let the micro-organisms begin to compost the waste.

After a few weeks, the contents can be safely transferred to any home composter or dug into the soil. Dilute the leftover liquid, full of beneficial microbes, and use as a plant feed.

The offer kit is available until 31 March 2011 and includes everything you need:

  • 2 Kitchen Composters (18 litre) each with a carry handle, air-tight lid, drainage tap, inner drain tray
  • 1 scoop
  • Full instructions
  • 1 kg of Bokashi activator (about 3-4 months' supply)

The Kitchen Composter:

  • 18 litres capacity
  • H370 mm x D260 mm x W320 mm
  • silver with a black lid
  • is compact, odour-free and airtight
  • is guaranteed for 2 years.

Order on-line from Straight plc at www.essex.composting.com/ or call 0845 130 6090.

The kit costs £25 plus £5 delivery if just the kit is ordered.

Additional supplies of Bokashi Activator can be purchased either at the same time or separately. An extra 1 kg costs £6.50, or you can buy 3 kg for the price of 2 kg at a cost of £13.
There will be a delivery charge of £5 per order regardless of the number of kits, activator or other items delivered to a single address.

This special offer is open to residents of Essex County Council and Southend on Sea Borough Council. Thurrock and London Borough Councils' residents do not qualify for this particular offer. However you may be eligible for offers in your area - call your local council or 0845 130 6090 for more details.

The Kitchen Composter (18 litres capacity) is compact and airtight, measures w 320 mm (13"), d 260 mm (10"), h 370 mm (15") and is guaranteed for 2 years. It's odour-free and safe to keep in the kitchen.

Two Kitchen Composters are supplied to allow you to continually collect your food waste whilst one unit is left to ferment.

The Bokashi is made with friendly bacteria which start the composting process off and neutralise any odours. After a few weeks, the contents can be safely transferred into a home composter or dug directly into the soil. The leftover liquid is full of beneficial microbes and is perfect for using diluted as a plant feed.

After the close of the special offer, further supplies of Bokashi activator are available from www.evengreener.com, a trading style of Straight Recycling.
