The event is designed to show how green garden waste from across Hampshire is composted on a large scale to make the organic soil conditioner known as Pro-Grow.
During the day visitors can:
• Learn about how we turn garden waste into compost in just 6 months
• Experience an up-close guided tour, to find out about the process
• Take part in educational games for younger visitors
Composting Manager, Ed Watson of Veolia Environmental Services said:
“We think this is a great opportunity for our neighbours and local residents to come and explore what happens at our site. It takes us just 6 months to take green garden waste from Hampshire’s homes and turn it into a useful product!”
Little Bushywarren Composting Facility is part of the Project Integra network of waste management infrastructure, designed to handle Hampshire’s household waste and recycling. In Hampshire over 36% of our waste is recycled, and just 10% is sent to landfill. Visitors will find out how we deal with all types of waste from the county’s 1.72 million residents.
