The 'windrow' method ensures the temperature of garden waste is constantly monitored to provide optimum conditions.

12/06/2026

Our FREE soil improving compost is now available to take away. Head to Longue Hougue to load up your containers or the back of your pick-up truck. The pile is regularly topped up and there’s plenty to go around – follow the map here to find the collection point.

Our FREE soil-improving compost is now even better.

Following an upgrade to our green waste composting process, supported by industry experts in the UK, we’ve significantly improved the consistency and quality of the final product.

Using a windrow composting method, we’re now producing a stable, nutrient-rich conditioner that gardeners can use with greater confidence. It’s ideal for lawns (applied as a thin layer), vegetable patches, borders, pots and containers — simply mix it in with your existing soil.

Why not pop down to Longue Hougue to pick some up and see the difference for yourself?

Your garden waste has a second life 🌿

When you drop off grass, leaves and branches and other garden clippings at the Household Green Waste site at Mont Cuet, it becomes part of something bigger.
