Compost

Aardvark Recycling

Aardvark Recycling is a social enterprise collecting food waste from residents in Lambeth as well as London businesses. As a result of this we produce around 6 tonnes of compost every week!! Once fully matured we work with local community groups to ensure that the compost goes back into local environmental improvement projects. We have 50L bags for collection or we can deliver up to 1 tonne to a single location for your larger projects. There is a small charge for the bags or for delivery.
