SHOPPERS will be able to discover all they need to know about composting when the first of a series of composting clinics is held in Worcester's CrownGate Shopping Centre.

They will even be able to pick up a composting bin from the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) team, who will be in Bell Square to give advice on Friday, from 10am to 4pm.

Worcestershire County Council will be on hand to give advice on recycling opportunities and parents will be able to find out about the benefits of using real nappies. The event marks the beginning of WRAP's composting clinic roadshow, which will visit 15 venues across Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

It is hoped to encourage homeowners to reduce the amount of household waste produced each year.
