ASK are working with Scottish Borders Council to provide advice and support for those householders with Compostabins.

ASK runs the Composting Demonstration within Woodside Walled Garden in partnership with SBC, where visitors can see a range of working compost bins and learn how to best use them.

ASK can answer your composting questions by phone or by email. We are on hand in the Composting Demonstration at Woodside once a week, usually on a Saturday, from April to October. And, together with Scottish Borders Copuncil Recycling Team we are at the Border Union Show, Kelso.
