Since its launch in 2021, the Devon based composting group has been growing steadily and includes a former Teignbridge Council environment and recycling officer. The scheme, located on a local farm land will be fully functional by March 2024. In support of the initiative, STIGA have donated a CS 750 chainsaw.
