What happens to the garden waste and clean brown cardboard once it has been collected? How does it get recycled?
The garden waste gets collected in a vehicle similar to a normal refuse vehicle. It is then transported to a central recycling facility where it is sorted and bulked up. The garden waste then gets transported to a reprocessor who screens the material and shreds it before it goes to a local farm. There it is composted and eventually spread over the farmer’s fields as a fertiliser. The compostable material gets fed back into the land.
