MORE DETAILS
ODOURS & RODENTS
The system is sealed and self‑contained. Each drop‑off is covered with a scoop of carbon material (wood shavings), which balances moisture and prevents smells. Regular checks by volunteer monitors keep everything tidy and pest‑free.
CONTAMINATION PLEDGE
Please keep plastic, glass, and non‑compostable packaging out. “Caddy cards” — simple fridge or caddy‑top reminder cards — show what can and can’t go in.
ACCESS
TIMES
The station is located in the Forest Row Community Centre carpark, towards the back next to the Jubilee Gardens entrance. Open 24 hours for members - drop when it suits you.
