GARDENERS in York will have the chance to boost their green-fingered exploits by getting their hands on free compost this summer.
The first of the collections, organised by City of York Council, will be held at Yorwaste’s Harewood Whin site on Tinker Lane, off Wetherby Road, on Sunday.
There will be further opportunities to receive free compost at the same location on July 4, August 1 and September 5, with the material being available from 9.30am until 2.30pm each day and residents being asked to bring a shovel and bags or containers to take it home.
“The compost we are giving away has been made using the garden waste we collect from residents’ green bins,” said Sara Goodhead, the council’s waste strategy officer.
