Brighton Living Soil Membership
Get all your food waste collected and receive an annual delivery every spring. We’ll supply you with the right size bucket to start putting all of your food scraps into and collect it via direct communication with you every four weeks.
The bucket you receive is loaded with Bokashi - a special culture that simply means ‘fermented organic matter’ - to help breakdown your foodwaste in a benefical way and reduce bad smells.
This is a clean-bucket doorstep collection service. You’ll receive a reminder in our Brighton Living Soil community WhatAapp group the day before collection day and your full bucket of food-scraps will be switched for a clean one.
Our small team of compost makers love making compost creation stations where we transform waste into wildlife and rubbish into robins!!
You’ll have cleaner bins and consciounce knowing that all your nutrients are creating more living soil for health and earth repair instread of unecessary pollution.
Collection day details will be shared upon membership subscription.
Collection and delivery details
On the collection day, leave the sealed bucket of food waste outside your household door and we’ll replace it with a clean bucket for you to start re-filling again.
During March to April, we’ll deliver either 12L or 80L of proper humus, enriched with our biochar, fully decomposed by earthworms and soil food web biology and loaded with bio-available plant nutrients and minerals.
To make the best use of the energy of collecting from your doorstep, we appreciate your efforts to give us as full a bucket as possible each month. The less empty bucket space we are carrying around the more local compost we can create with the same effort.
We accept the following organic household materials:
All food waste. Cooked food and veg waste are encouraged but please cut up whole veg into pieces for us (especially raw green potatoes).
Other materials we can accept are carbon sources like kitchen towel and loo rolls, or small pieces of cardboard packaging material (without tape). These can soak up some of the wetter ingredients you might add, like coffee grounds. Only non-glossy cardboard, shredded paper, and tissue paper are suitable. Wood ash and small amounts of garden waste are encouraged in small pieces and quantities.
We will not take any non-organic material in the bins. Please especially avoid giving us anything plastic. This includes all of the currently still marketed plastic ‘alternatives’ like PLA cups, ‘plastic free’ coffee bags and anything tetra Pak. Packaging that says ‘Home Compostable’ can be added but ‘degradable’ or ‘biodegradable’ or just ‘compostable’ can’t be put in our bins.
