Composting for councils, joint authorities, schools and urban districts. A public garden composter, and food waste recycled at source: one of the two routes Article 22 provides.
You have to go through a public procurement procedure, with a precise specification. Our offer has to fit the paperwork your own rules require.
Our answer. We are used to public buyers (councils, joint authorities, urban districts). The documents you need (company details, certifications, references) supplied within 48h so you can build your tender file.
A public composter that sits badly in its setting is an eyesore. Your technical services and your elected members want something attractive, durable and accessible.
Our answer. The composter is built, lacquered and customised in our own workshop: five colours to choose from, in your authority’s colours if you want them. In the garden composter version, a circular planter rings the unit and takes the mature compost.
Your environment department has to measure how well collection is working. Without clear reporting, there is no way to decide and no way to report back to your elected assembly.
Our answer. A log sheet supplied with the composter: date, weight and destination at each emptying. You keep the record, and we give you the emission factors and the method so your own team can calculate the saving.
100 meals served on the school calendar, 10 staff on site the rest of the year. The figures below come from our calculator, using the same method as your online quote.
758 kg of food waste a year
That is 758 kg a year, most of it from the canteen sorting table.
Total79 € excl. VAT/month
48-month commitment. You keep the compost and use it on site.
Optional Removal of the mature compost, if you do not use it yourself: it is arranged with a local operator of your choice, and we help you scope the brief. As a French benchmark, a site like this one takes 6 collections a year, that is +60 € excl. VAT a month, bringing the total to 139 € excl. VAT a month.

From accepting the quote to the first emptying: the location is agreed within 24 hours, delivery follows in 1 to 3 weeks.
In the service yard or beside the canteen, away from where pupils walk.
One in preparation, one at the sorting table. The action becomes a teaching aid: pupils see what they throw away.
We train the staff and, if you wish, run a video session with the classes. Tackling food waste starts at the sorting table.
Six removals a year in this case, timed to the school calendar and arranged with a local operator. During the holidays nothing goes in, and composting carries on with nothing to do.
Emptying is optional. If you have a green space, a kitchen garden or planted beds, the compost stays with you.
The ABC composter delivered, the bulking material delivered, maintenance, remote training and the team awareness kit. You keep the compost and use it on site.
See this offerThe same, plus the mature compost taken away: 6 removals a year for this example, handled by a local operator you contract. Nothing piles up on your site.
See this offerIn France, collection is billed at 10 € excl. VAT a month per annual visit, from 1 to 12 collections a year depending on your actual volumes; elsewhere the removal of the mature compost is arranged with a local operator of your choice, and we help you scope the brief. Above 1,500 kg a year, a second composter is added.
Local authorities are both subject to source separation for their own sites and responsible for offering it to residents. School catering is the first stream concerned. What exactly applies depends on your jurisdiction.
Rules differ from one jurisdiction to the next, but the direction is the same everywhere: food waste has to be separated at source and recovered, either composted on site or collected separately. Check what applies where you operate.
The rules where you operateDepending on the amount, a quote is enough or we respond to your tender procedure. The composter is available to buy or to rent over 48 months: on the rental route there is no capital outlay and the spend stays in your operating budget.
Nothing to do. The composter carries on its cycle with no input.
Yes, and that is one of the real benefits: the sorting table makes food waste visible, and the compost produced can be used on the grounds or in the school garden.
Yes. One contract covering every site, the same price per site, and consolidated reporting by council or by joint authority.
An administrative head office and a care facility follow the same mechanics: see also offices & workplaces and healthcare & care homes.
