Membership is open to anyone in St Pauls, St. Judes, St. Werburghs and Easton, or anyone willing to bring their food waste to St Werbergs City Farm.

By becoming a member, you will be part of a community helping regenerate our local biosphere – saving vital nutrients from leaving our food system, reducing food miles, creating closed resource loops (waste from one system becomes a resource for another), and creating a carbon sink.

Your membership will support local food growing projects and the emergence of a decentralised network of compost collectives across Bristol.

We currently have three membership types:

Protozoa

This is a self-service plan for people who want to drop-off their food waste themselves at St Werburgs City farm on a Wednesday between 4:30-6:30pm. 

Protozoa is £10 p/m.

Nematode

This is a 3-weekly doorstep collection service for people living in St Werburghs, St Pauls, Easton, or St Judes. We come along and collect your food waste on our bike. 

Nematode £12.50 p/m.

Earthworm

This is a bespoke service for businesses,  communities, groups and organisations. Please get in touch and will come up with a competitively priced plan that suits you. 

Returning the Living Soil to You

It takes around 9 months for the transformation of food waste into living soil to take place. Once it is ready, we will return it to you. If you don’t want to use it yourself, we will pass it on to one of the many brilliant community garden projects in the city or sell it to raise project funds.

The value of the living soil you will receive as a member exceeds your membership payments.

Nematode Collection Area

Our 3-weekly doorstep food waste collections are done by bicycle, so we need to keep them local. If you live just outside of these boundaries and want to become a Nematode, let us know as we can be flexible.
