Message from the Blackpits compost team:
Blackpits are hosting our annual compost give-away day at Helmdon Compost Site on Saturday 10 May 2025. The compost will be available to collect between the hours of 08:00 – 12:00 only.
Residents can take up to 5 bags or buckets each and you should bring your own bags/buckets and shovels for loading. No trailers please.
Compost will be stockpiled on the compost pad next to the weighbridge. Please pull your car onto the pad and off the access road so as not to block the weighbridge, as the site will be operational at the time.
The give-away is available only on the Saturday when safety arrangements will be in place, so please don’t come on other days.
Also please wear appropriate footwear during your visit ie. safety boots, walking boot type shoes for your safety.
