The Green Estate’s Green Waste Recycling Facility is an innovative and regenerative service that turns green waste from local landscapers, universities, local councils and domestic gardeners into certified PAS100 peat-free compost and specialist soils.
The service was originally set up as a pilot dispersed composting network in 2004 as a response to prevent fly-tipping of green waste in Sheffield housing developments, with any profit being invested back into the local area. The facility reduces the volume of organic matter ending up in landfill and lowers the carbon footprint for customers transporting green waste.
In 2023, our Green Waste Team were awarded Recycling Initiative of the Year at the South Yorkshire Sustainability Awards. These awards celebrate the achievements of businesses, organisations and individuals that are leading the way in South Yorkshire to reduce their environmental impact.
