Bracknell

Bracknell Forest residents are being offered a second chance to buy a green cone composting system - which can take all food waste including meat, bones, bread and dairy products, for a special price of just £10 while stocks last.

The green cones will be available from 10am until 2pm at Bracknell Leisure Centre, Bagshot Road, on Saturday, November 22. The green cone normally costs £69.99 plus delivery.

The green cone turns food waste back into its natural components of water and carbon dioxide. You can put all your food waste – not just vegetable peelings and fruit skins, but meat, bones, fish, bread crusts and dairy products – into your green cone and forget all about it. Through a completely natural decay process it turns into harmless liquid that seeps into the soil.

To operate effectively the green cone needs a sunny position with free draining soil, and there will be no smells or vermin. You will be able to leave it working away in your garden for several years before it needs emptying.

Cllr Mrs Dorothy Hayes, Executive Member for the Bracknell Environment, said: "The Council works hard to help residents dispose of their waste without it ending up in harmful landfill sites.

"Our last green cone sale was incredibly successful so get there early before they all run out."

For a £10 green cone, visit the roadshow with proof of residency, like a council tax or utility bill. Cash payments only, one per household, only 400 are available. Green cone staff will be available to answer any questions. Limited supplies are available online for £19.95 - including home delivery - visit www.greencone.com
