ASK are working with Scottish Borders Council to provide advice and support for those householders with Compostabins. ASK has been at several shows in the Borders in 2009 and will be there answering questions again in 2010.

ASK are in partnership with Scottish Borders Council to offer wormeries to Primary Schools in the Scottish Borders. ASK are providing the set up and maintenance advice and there is lots of information about wormeries in Finding out about Worms.
We also deliver projects for environmental bodies like the Berwickshire Community Councils Forum Environment Group.
