End Result

Once the green waste has been recycled, it is then put to extremely good use on our farm land. This is why letting James Heyes & Sons recycle your green waste makes perfect sense, as the resulting compost soil is used onsite. Why help the environment by having your green waste recycled, only for the compost to then be driven for use elsewhere?

The compost soil acts as a soil conditioner, adding fibre and structure, while replacing the need for artificial fertilisers. This provides a further advantage, as the residue from the compost soil doesn't leach into the soil and eventually into the waterways, in the same way that artificial fertiliser does.

Outlined below are a number of ways we put the compost to use.

Growing Sprouts

The image below outlines the process of harvesting, sorting and packaging our sprouts ready for market.

Growing Potatoes

The resulting compost also enables us to yield high quality potatoes that are sold throughout the UK and Ireland. The photos below show our potatoes ready for distribution and our potato harvester.

Grazing Cattle

The compost isn't solely used for growing crops, it also aids the growth of the grass that our cattle graze upon.
