Does your company offer composting services for organic waste, and if so, what are the guidelines and processes involved?
Yes, our company offers composting services for organic waste. The guidelines and processes involved in our composting services are as follows:
1. Sorting: We ask our customers to separate their organic waste from other types of waste, such as plastic or paper. This ensures that the composting process is effective and contaminant-free.
2. Collection: We provide designated bins or containers for the collection of organic waste. These can be in the form of 60-litre orange bags for low volume waste or 240-litre wheelie bins for high volume waste.
3. Transport: Our team collects the organic waste from your premises and transports it to our composting facility.
4. Composting: At our composting facility, the organic waste undergoes a controlled decomposition process. This involves layers of organic matter such as food scraps, yard trimmings, and other compostable materials being mixed together and allowed to decompose over time.
5. Monitoring: Throughout the composting process, our team monitors the temperature, moisture levels, and oxygen levels to ensure optimal conditions for decomposition and to prevent any issues such as odour or pests.
6. Curing: Once the organic waste has fully decomposed, it undergoes a curing phase where it is allowed to stabilise and further break down. This helps create high-quality compost.
7. Screening: After curing, the compost goes through a screening process to remove any remaining contaminants or large particles, resulting in a fine, nutrient-rich compost product.
8. Distribution: The final compost is then ready for distribution to customers who can use it for various purposes such as gardening, landscaping, or agricultural applications.Our composting services provide an environmentally friendly solution for managing organic waste and contribute to the reduction of landfill waste.
