The above costs include all that you need to get started, delivery by Ridan will be extra and charged at 50 pence per mile for the round trip. On delivery we will advise on the best location for your Ridan, assemble and install the system, then train staff and demonstrate how to use it. Please contact us for exact delivery costs.
Grant funding may be available, but this can vary depending upon your location.
For example schools and colleges within Devon may have access to funding from the Cutting Your Wasteline grant which could be used to part fund a Ridan.

More Composter Funding Options - some may be relevant!
- HSBC - If a HSBC employee is already assigned to a local school and working with the ECO committee, then they will be able to apply for funding through our National Steering Group for a local project. The project should provide strong opportunities for volunteering, along with a lasting positive impact on the community.
The funding is there for HSBC to use, so if you receive any enquiries for schools, you could ask if they have a HSBC volunteer and then go from there. However not all schools on the ECO schools register have registered for a HSBC volunteer.
