Getting there
For this session we're going to meet at the task, so you'll need to make your own way there. We encourage you to walk, run, or cycle to do so!
About this session
Compostworks is an amazing organisation based in Liverpool, led by the fabulous Minna Alanko-Falola, which runs community composting schemes in neighbourhoods across Liverpool. If you sign up to the scheme, you can take your household compostable waste to one of their bins dotted around the city. When the waste has rotted down into compost, this is then available for community gardens or for individual members to use, giving rubbish a new life!
We're going to be helping this great initiative at their Linnet Lane site. The task is (1) to 'turn' the composting material in the bins, which means stirring it around to circulate air and help the bacteria, and (2) to dig mature compost out of one of the bins and in to sacks so that it is available for community members to use.
There is only so much space around the compost bins so this task is limited to just 3 people, and should be a quick task so we have set an expected duration of 30 minutes, but if it is a success then hopefully we'll be able to do more tasks like this in the future. If this task doesn't work for you, feel free to check out Compostworks anyway and see if there are any bins in your area!

What to look out for
Make sure you've read our general guidelines for safety for taking part in a GoodGym session.
This is a GoodGym community mission. When we're doing a community mission we make our own way to the task, so you can choose to walk, run, or cycle. Thinking of cycling - check out our FAQs
This session is organised by your Taskforce, a group of experienced GoodGym members in your area. They are not responsible for your safety. You should feel confident to participate in the session as it is described and you do so at your own risk.
