Post by lbere »

Hi, Does anyone know if I can get either of these items free of charge from anywhere?

Thanks

HI lbere - you can try contacting Lewisham council, best would be to look up the Lewisham website for their environmental services and to email them with your request. The bins were free at one stage but I'm not sure if they still are. Good luck.

I enquired at the council about a year ago for a free composter, and was told they only offered discounts, not free ones. Freebies now? I reckon you'd be lucky with all the cuts in the pipeline.

Good luck though.
