Waste and resources initiatives

Discussing compost heaps

At Frome Town Council we’re working hard to promote borrowing, sharing and recycling. Here are some of the things we’ve done or are doing to improve resource use in Frome:

  • We host some of Loop Frome’s network of compost bins, promoting soil health and biodiversity.
  • We initiated the first VHS recycling campaign in the country in partnership with Protomax, who can recycle any type of plastic. The boards are now being used in the refurb of the town hall.
  • We have supported and secured funding for a range of re-use groups including Frome Toy Library, and are working with Frome Scrap Store and Re-play (music instrument re-use).
  • We’ve launched Wild About Sharing and support Frome’s Neighbourhood Networks in setting up their own share boxes.
