South Lanarkshire residents have a second chance to snap up a free compost bin after a hugely popular council pilot scheme was doubled in size following the initial “exceptional response”. ‌

The local authority is making a further 330 garden composters available on a first-come, first-served basis to allow residents with gardens to recycle their garden waste including grass cuttings, leaves, twigs and weeds – after original launch supplies in August were taken up in just two hours. ‌

Funding for the expanded project is being made available through the council’s climate emergency fund, with the news being announced during the current annual climate week. ‌
