Greenwaste Recycling
Recycling greenwaste with Yorwaste is not only cheaper than sending it to landfill, it is also greener.
Our composting operations convert organic waste matter into a product that is useful for gardening, landscaping, agriculture or landfill restoration. Composting saves energy, reduces air and water pollution and the volume of organic waste materials destined for landfill.

All our composting operations are open windrow operations composting pure greenwaste. Open windrow composting is a managed process in which biodegradable greenwaste is broken down by naturally occurring micro-organisms to produce a stable residue. Waste is collected and brought to the site where it is checked to ensure it is of sufficient quality. It is then shredded and arranged into windrows, which are elongated piles shaped for composting. Aeration is encouraged by mixing of the material and regular mechanical turning.
Decomposition is allowed to continue until the waste has been stabilised and matured.
