West Berkshire Council soil conditioner give-away event
Back by popular demand, West Berkshire Council are working in partnership with its waste contractor Veolia to give away soil conditioner to local residents, for free!
On Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 March 2023, between 10:00am until 4:00pm, local residents will be able to pick up Veolia’s locally produced soil conditioner from the Padworth Waste Management Facility, at Padworth Lane, RG7 4JF.
The soil conditioner is produced at Padworth and is made from the food and garden waste that we collect from households within the district.
Please bring along your own bags/boxes and you must be responsible for collecting and loading the soil conditioner from the site to your own vehicle.
No appointment booking is necessary, however please bring along an ID card or a recent utility bill with you to prove you are a resident of West Berkshire. Please only collect a reasonable amount to ensure everyone has an opportunity to make use of this offer.
In addition, during the week of 6-11 March 2023, whilst stocks last West Berkshire Council will make free compostable food waste caddy liners available from all West Berkshire Council Libraries and West Berkshire Council Reception in Newbury.
Please note there will be vehicle restrictions in place. No commercial vehicles will be admitted; this is for householders only.
