What happens to garden and kitchen waste collected by my district council?
All the garden and kitchen waste produced by householders in Cambridgeshire is sent to two local contractors. One of them is based in Waterbeach and the other in Ellington. They have approved licenses to process even meat, bones and dairy products. All the contents from your garden and kitchen bin or paper sack are transformed into soil conditioner, which is used by local farmers and is also sold to residents to enrich gardens and allotments. The garden waste you take to any of our Household Recycling Centre is also sent to our contractors in Waterbeach, Ellington and March.
