Free compost giveaways run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council are back this month.
Eight giveaway events will be held across the area between Monday 9 May and Saturday 21 May, where around 5,000 bags of compost will be handed out for free to local residents.
Residents are invited to drive along to their nearest event, where two 15kg bags of compost will be placed into each of their car boots.
As always, the compost being given away will be made directly from the garden and food waste which East Riding residents recycle in their brown bins.
The scheme has been running a number of years and returned in September after a Covid break.
All events will be Covid-safe and residents are asked to stay in their vehicles.
Cllr Chris Matthews, the council's portfolio holder for environment and climate change, said: "Compost giveaways are really important because they are the council's way of giving back to residents and thanking them for continuing to recycle.
"The East Riding is still one of the top areas in the country for recycling and that's down to the fantastic efforts of residents."
Brown bins can be used to recycle grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, small branches, leaves, flowers and weeds, all cooked and uncooked food, peelings, plate scrapings, bones, bread, meat, egg shells and small amounts of soups, sauces and gravies - all of it gets collected and then transformed into compost.
