No. At this time we are unable to compost food at our current sites.

No, many composting sites in the uk struggles to process this waste currently, so we are unable to accept it.

All green waste collected by COM:POST is transported to commercial composting facilities where it is processed into PAS100 certified compost.

The compost is then used within UK horticulture and agriculture, helping to support the growth of flowers, food and plants. Item description

We guarantee that all green waste collected by COM:POST is composted within approximately 16–20 weeks.

Our service starts from £18 per week, with pricing based on the volume of waste your business produces.

Separating green waste from general waste can reduce the volume going into more expensive mixed waste streams.

• Total waste collected

• Total weight composted

• Estimated compost produced

Many florists use this reporting within tenders, sustainability policies and customer communications.
