Community Composting and Leaf-mould initiatives

Wondering what to do with all of those autumn leaves? Do you want to make a lovely weed free compost for use within your community? Are you ready to turn a waste into a resource to combat climate change?

If so, Fingal County Council is offering community organisations and neighbourhood associations with the opportunity to participate in this year’s community leaf mould composting project. Based on the success of last year’s leaf mould composting project, the initiative is being expanded this year to include new communities and support groups that participated last year.

What is being offered at no charge:

• Online Zoom training workshop on how to make leaf mould to be held on: Tuesday October 8th from 7:30-8:30pm

• Site visit to assist communities or housing estates with selecting appropriate sites and setting up and starting your leaf mould cages.

• Free leaf mould cages for all participants, and watering can and pitch fork for new groups

How do I sign up?

To sign up for this unique opportunity, please send an email to [email protected] with:

• your email address

• mobile phone number

Application deadline is Sunday September 29, 2024. Spaces are limited so applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first served basis.
