Compost Facility
The composting site, the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, is located at the Redruth Eco-Centre. The site processes greenwaste, foodwaste and paper waste eg soiled paper and shredded paper from the green bins, transfer stations and commercial greenwaste. The site is owned by Council.
A full explanation of the composting process is contained on the One Planet website.
