At Freeland, we’re proud to play a leading role in reducing the amount of organic waste sent to landfill. As a market leader in the recycling industry, we operate three purpose-built green waste composting facilities across the UK, processing more than 150,000 tonnes of garden waste every year.
Our commitment to sustainability provides councils, businesses, and communities with a cost-effective way to meet recycling targets while creating high-quality compost for the future.
Organic waste collected by local authorities and industry from homes and businesses is processed over a 12-week cycle. Every stage of the process is managed to ensure quality and safety:
Inspection & Sorting – All incoming waste is checked for contamination.
Shredding & Windrowing – Material is shredded and formed into long windrows.
Regular Turning – Windrows are turned frequently to optimise natural composting.
Maturation & Testing – Compost is matured, sampled, and independently tested to PAS100 standards.
The result is a clean, sustainable, and nutrient-rich compost product.

Freeland operates three strategically located green waste composting sites across the UK. Each facility is designed to handle high volumes efficiently while meeting strict environmental and safety standards. By investing in modern infrastructure, we’re able to support local councils, landscaping projects, and industries in reaching their recycling and sustainability goals.
