Great Green Giveaway

A compost giveaway day is being held in March to thank residents for continuing to support DDC’s brown bin collections. 

Ten tonnes of top quality soil improver from the Council’s green waste collections will be available free of charge for Daventry District residents on Saturday, March 13.

The giveaway will be limited to 3 bags per household and will be given on a first come, first served basis.

It’s being held at the Old Outdoor Pool Car park in Daventry from 10am to 3pm and residents are asked to take along a shovel and sturdy bags.

A voluntary donation will be collected for Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance on the day, while the Council’s Waste Strategy Team will on hand to offer further advice on home composting.
