WHICH BIN TIPS

Always in the green bin: nail clippings, hair and pet fur

Nail clippings and hair from both humans and pets can go in the green bin – following the general rule, ‘if it grows, it goes!’

Nails, hair and food provide a rich source of nitrogen, which is excellent for composting. They also make for a good addition to your home compost pile, if you have a system set up.
