Garden Waste

What happens to garden waste

garden waste is delivered to the composting facility
a high speed shredder is used to break down the waste material
the material is then fed into a screener, larger material is removed from the process and put back through the shredder
the garden waste is then managed to maturity over 14 weeks. It is turned often to regulate the internal heat and samples are taken to check levels of nutrients
after weeks of careful management, the garden waste has transformed into a soil conditioner (compost) which is then spread onto local farmland
