The term ‘composting’ is used to define a wide range of activities, ranging from a heap of manure at the bottom of a garden to sophisticated treatment processes for commercial waste and is designed to reduce the quantity of organics waste sent to landfills. The process of composting is very simple and practiced by individuals in their homes, farmers on their land, and commercially by various industries and cities. Compost is composed of organic materials derived from plant and animal matter that has been decomposed gradually through aerobic decomposition.

In order to handle this organic waste, many companies provide composting services not only to individuals but also big orgnaisations in UK. Community composting sites are generally small.

With some of the bigger sites processing tens of thousands of tones each year, materials handling equipment and systems become a necessity.
