## Find out the role composting plays in the strategy Southdowns waste strategy

Green garden waste which we receive from the network of Household Waste Recycling Sites in East Sussex and Brighton & Hove will be composted at Woodlands In-Vessel Composting Facility to produce an organic soil conditioner.

### The enclosed composting process

The green garden material is delivered to an enclosed hall where it is then shredded and mixed and processed in an enclosed unit.

Over a period of 14 days, a control system feeds air into the chamber and controls moisture and temperature to continually break down the material. The compost is then removed for a final period of maturation, after which it is graded and marketed.

### What you can do

Home compost cuttings from the garden, fruit and vegetable peelings and coffee grounds. Take your green garden waste to the Household Waste Recycling Sites for composting.
