THE Town Council has agreed to take part in an EU project to trial a Ridan Food Composter which will allow catering food waste to be recycled quickly and easily.

Sending commercial food waste to landfill is unnecessary, unsustainable and costly, and it is far better recycled and reused on site.

The Ridan is an eco-friendly composter which requires no form of power, to turn all food waste quickly into compost, and reduce the amount of waste going into landfill.

A Ridan, which can cut CO2 emissions by over 10 tonnes a year, also saves on waste disposal costs.

The healthy, nutrient-rich compost it produces without the need for electricity will be used around East Court’s award-winning grounds.
