Chairman of the Council’s Environmental Services Committee, Councillor Andrew Ewing, congratulated Mr Dodds on winning the wormery: “The number of entries for the competition shows the level of interest in recycling and in particular producing your own compost. I hope that Mr Dodds will enjoy using the worm composter and find it a useful asset for his garden. The Council is keen to divert food waste from landfill sites, so as well as using your brown bin for all your food waste a worm composter is another great way to make use of it. Thank you to everyone who took the time to enter the competition and show their interest.”
