Buy Back Your Garden Waste

West Sussex homes can now buy back their garden waste as genuine organic compost called Reclaim Organic Soil Conditioner.

Household waste recycling sites are now producing bags of organic compost for sale. So far 56,000 tonnes of green waste from gardens in West Sussex have been processed into organic compost. This is an example of how recycling can effectively ‘close the loop’. The green waste from your garden can be taken to your nearest household waste recycling site or collected from your kerbside. It then goes into a local composting plant, where it is processed and bagged ready for sale at household waste recycling sites. The loop is closed when the compost is spread back onto the garden.

This is a great example of how waste can be turned into a useable product which in this case will enrich your garden with an organic product that is local in every sense of the word.

It is available at 10 out of 11 Household Waste Recycling Sites in West Sussex:
· Billingshurst
· Bognor Regis
· Burgess Hill
· Crawley
· East Grinstead, via Imberhorne lane nurseries adjacent to the site
· Horsham
· Littlehampton

· Westhampnett, Chichester
Worthing is expected to be complete by the end of 2008
