Organics Processing Plant Development

The Organics Processing Plant is a Council-owned composting facility in Bromley, operated by Living Earth. The plant receives all the food and green waste collected in the kerbside green bins. The Council has agreed in principle to relocate the organics processing operation to an alternative site. There is currently no preferred site for a new organics processing plant. We will be working through procurement processes to produce a shortlist, including options for location, partnerships, joint ventures and commercial opportunities for the future processing of organics.
