About Compost This
While posting items for reuse on Recycle This, we quite often found ourselves wondering if this or that could be composted. We would toddle off and research each item in turn and realised we were building up quite a body of knowledge about the 'yes'es and 'no'es of composting. A bit of programming for John, a bit of writing and image collection for Louisa and a bit of design work from John's brother Chris, and voila, the site was born.
There are already well over a hundred items in the database but we'll keep adding to it as time goes by - if you have any suggestions of anything we've missed, do let us know - email suggestions@compostthis.co.uk.
As with Recycle This, this site is entirely produced and hosted using Free and Open Source software.

About the images
All of the images used to illustrate the entries have been sourced from stock photo site SXC, although in many cases we've played with colour levels and cropped the image from the original. All photographers have been credited where required by the terms of use - but if you took a photo we've used and not been credited (because you said accrediting wasn't necessary), we're still happy to give you a link - just email us and we'll add it in.
