Hexham Bed and Breakfast Choices for Northumberland gardeners to go green


GARDENERS across Northumberland are being offered three different ways of getting rid of their green waste this year.
Each of the available options will result in the recycled waste being turned into compost or soil conditioner, which has benefits for gardens and the environment.
Householders can buy their own compost bin for £16.50 and use it to convert their waste at home
They can also sign up for the county council’s kerbside collection system, which costs £21 a year and involves them putting garden into a special bin.
The third option is to take green waste to the local household waste recovery centre where it will be composted.
People who want to buy a home compost bin should go to 
Those who want the collection service should email ask@northumberland.gov.uk or phone the council on 0845 600 6400 after February 18.

Thornley House Bed and Breakfast  has 15 m2 of it's own compost which is used in cultivation of the mature gardens.
