Our church now has a compost bin!

Our church now has a compost bin! It’s been handmade from pallet wood by Paul Carrington, to whom we’re extremely grateful (the worms are too!). 

Composting helps reduce waste, keeps garden waste and food scraps out of landfill (where they’d rot and release methane), and turns it into nutrient-rich soil instead. It’s a simple way to care for creation and live more sustainably.

As an Eco Church, we recognise the vital role that land management plays in protecting and restoring God’s creation. By composting, reducing chemical use, planting for biodiversity, and caring for our green spaces, we create a healthier environment for people, wildlife, and the planet. Thoughtful stewardship of our church grounds reflects our commitment to sustainability and ensures that our outdoor spaces can flourish as places of beauty, refuge, and ecological richness.

If you don’t have a compost bin at home, Sandwell Council has teamed up with GetComposting so that Sandwell residents can buy composting products and water butts at a reduced price, find out more and read further about the benefits of compost here: https://www.sandwell.gov.uk/bins-recycling/composting
