Garden waste collected from householders in Selby has been recycled into compost which is now on sale across North Yorkshire.
Yorwaste, along with its sister company SJB Recycling, recently launched the new compost, which is known as Yorganics.
The product is 100% recycled, peat free and locally sourced and produced compost and has been accredited to the British Standards Institution (BSI) PAS 100 Standard, which recognises the production of high quality compost.
Yorwaste’s Head of Sales & Marketing, Matt Wilkinson said: “We launched Yorganics at the Great Yorkshire Show recently and were absolutely delighted with the interest in it from farmers, retailers and members of the public.
“It’s biggest selling point is that it is a 100% recycled, peat free, locally-sourced and produced compost which meets high, exacting national standards for quality.
“It can be used in the garden to help vegetables and plants grow and research has shown that by introducing it into agricultural soil it will significantly increase crop yields, as well as being fully sustainable.”
Sam Turner, of Sam Turner & Sons, said: “We are delighted to be involved with promoting a local sustainable, eco-friendly product like this.”
Yorganics is available from Stones 4 Homes in Barlby and several other outlets throughout North Yorkshire.
Farmers, horticulturists, retailers or members of the public wishing to buy Yorganics compost can contact Yorwaste/SJB’s merchant partners, Harpers Aggregates on 01423 771480, or Stones 4 Homes on 01757 289651.
