| Is a form of [[Aerobic Digestion]]. It is a natural process where organic matter typically [[Green Waste]] and [[Food Waste]] is broken down into a nutrient rich ‘compost’ by various micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi, insects and worms. The resultant product ‘compost’ is a nutrient and microbe rich material which can be spread or added to land/soil to be used in place of a synthetic fertiliser.

| Composting also allows [[Waste Collection Authority|Waste Collection Authorities]] to divert organic waste away from landfill, helping them to meet landfill diversion targets for [[Biodegradable Municipal Waste]].

| The composting of a [[Waste Collection Authority]] collected household [[Green Waste]] is performed in one of either two ways:

| #[[Windrow Composting|Open-Windrow composting]]; or | |
| #[[In Vessel Composting|In-Vessel Composting]] [[[IVC]]
