Soil conditioner giveaway

Published: 02 September 2025

West Berkshire Council (WBC) and Veolia are giving away free soil conditioner made from recycled food waste at Padworth Integrated Waste Management Facility from 10.00am to 4.00pm on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October.

There is no need to book but proof of address (ID or utility bill) must be taken as the offer is open only to West Berkshire residents. The conditioner will be provided loose so boxes and bags will be needed to transport it.  For safety reasons, direct loading into vehicles will not be permitted.

There may be queues during busy times, but there will be plenty of soil conditioner and supplies will be topped up.

There will be restrictions in place for certain vehicles and the offer is strictly for householders, so commercial vehicles will not be admitted.

Further information may be found on WBC's web site.
