Green Waste Recycling

At Willen Biogas in South Hertfordshire, we have given considerable thought to our green waste site and process, to allow for the best possible production of compost from organic material, using new state-of-the-art systems and technology to achieve this.

AD Plant Facility

Green Waste: Welcome

Willen Biogas’s purpose built compost site is able to process 250,000 tonnes of green waste per annum. We create our biogas through our commercial green waste collections, kerbside collections, and full area clearances prior to building and construction projects. We can facilitate any sized vehicle from small transit sized tippers to articulated tipping trailers and walking floors.

Using our expertise and knowledge, our windrows are built more than four metres tall and are triangular in shape, to enable rain water retention. We have new technology installed on our site to allow rainwater and run-off to be harvested and re-applied to the windrows by a purpose built irrigation system. This allows the windrows to be kept at optimum moisture enabling composition to be maintained at an even rate.

The principal grades we offer is 0-10mm compost for horticulture and garden markets, and also 0-30mm compost for commercial landscape and agricultural markets.

Managing Your Green Waste

Our process follows strict guidelines to help us achieve consistently high quality products at the end of the composting process. We’re proud to say that we already adhere to new legislation that is expected to be implemented soon, lowering the level of plastic and contaminants allowed in final product samples. We regularly beat this target by a large margin, ensuring our products are amongst the best on the market, and are totally peat free.
