Compost week
BIN IT! Eco-friendly residents will be encouraged to start composting their household waste.
Experts working with Stoke-on-Trent City Council will be out and about from May 3 to 10 raising awareness of composting and its benefits as part of National Compost Week.
Long-term allotment holder John Sigley, pictured, who has had his patch at Cheadle Road in Leek for more than 20 years, is backing the scheme.
The 66-year-old, of Prince Street in Leek, said: "I have composted for many years and save everything. It's important and it makes the best compost for the garden."
A display stall will be in Hanley's Tontine Square, from 10am to 4pm, on May 5. It will be in Leek market on May 6 and Stafford's Market Square on May 7. Compost bins will be available at a subsidised cost.

Do they attract rats
I was speaking to a neighbour the other day, and he was saying that compost bins have the potential to attract rats.
Has anyone else heard anything like this?
Keep a lid on it
Just like any other bin if it can be accessed and there is food in there rats will go in but no more than any refuse bin.
