Down To Earth Recycling Ltd specialise in producing quality compost for agricultural and landscaping purposes at their commercial composting site and Waste Management Facility at Kirton-in-Lindsey, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire.

The company provides compost with a high nutrient content, which cuts down the need for fertiliser applications to agricultural land, therefore saving their customers considerable expense, as the cost of fertiliser has risen substantially in the last 12 months.  In addition to this, Down To Earth’s compost will supply other essential trace elements and organic matter, and the organic matter is known to improve the soil structure and to have a positive effect on its structural stability, its water holding capacity and workability.  More importantly, the organic matter has a long lasting effect, because of its high lignin content which is slowly degraded by microbes in the soil. 

Down To Earth Recycling Ltd take a variety of materials through the gate for their operation, from a range of waste streams.  Much of the material they work with has previously been sent to landfill, so Down To Earth Recycling’s process has a real benefit to the environment by diverting it to further use.  The business is expanding rapidly and the company are actively seeking to make contact with new suppliers of waste material, both solid and liquid, from the following sources:

Civic amenity sites
Material recycling facilities
Manufacturing (liquids and solids) 
Biological treatment plants
Other local authority processes
Demolition
Waste Management Companies
Landscape Contractors
Skip Hire Businesses
Both organic and mineral waste streams make up the solid waste element of the compost such as:
Green waste
Clean wood waste
Waste pallets and packaging  
Wood wastes, bark and other plant matter

The liquid element is obtained from non-toxic waste liquids from the following sources:

Factory wash down liquid
By product from Bio Fuel Plants

Down To Earth Recycling Ltd have built a state of the art Liquids Storage Pit.  After listening to a lot of the tanker drivers and visiting other sites that deal in liquid wastes, Kevin and Gary designed their own liquids pit.  The concrete constructed liquid pit is designed with a slight slope into it, which enables the tankers to disperse their liquids easily and ensures that all the material leaves the tankers.  There is also a wash down facility for the tankers if they wish to use that service.

Down To Earth Recycling Ltd offer a friendly and efficient service with all year round availability.  The site has full planning permission from the Local Authority and is registered with the Environment Agency; it is also staffed by trained operators, and there is a weighbridge on site.  The company have invested heavily in the right plant and machinery to do the job, which includes a Doppstadt AK530 Shredder.

Kevin and Gary feel very strongly that putting compostable waste into landfills is not an environmentally sustainable option, and their company offers a solution that is both flexible and cost-effective.  Working as a committed partner, Down To Earth Recycling delivers economically viable schemes that help local authorities to meet Government targets for green and other compostable waste recycling.  From receiving and then recycling the compostable waste through to ensuring the effective and sustainable use of the end product, Down To Earth Recycling offers a complete ‘Closed-Loop’ solution to organic waste needs.
