[Image taken 23.2.21] We don't have a garden. We don't want to put compostable kitchen waste into landfill though. So we have a composter. When it fills up, we bag up some of the contents and carry it in our cycle trailer from home - this image - to Greenfields School & Community Garden, Haxby Road, York en-gb.facebook.com/yorkgreenfields/
The compost area is at the back. We can wheel the cycle and trailer to it. We leave the bags in the designated spot for donations. The Garden's compost expert empties new bags into the enclosures he's built. There is an area for the resulting empty bags. We take two home for next time. From beginning to dig out the compost from our container to dropping it off and returning home is around 90 minutes. The route is a doddle too - Crichton Avenue offroad cycle route which leads to the motor traffic-free Foss Islands greenway. It's just 50m from there along Haxby Road to the cul de sac with the Garden at the end. See also #164367, #164368, #164369, #164370
