Waddock Composting Site (In-vessel) Joe Waddock was a dairy and beef farmer until he diversified and converted his farmyard and cattle sheds into a permitted in-vessel composting facility in Carlow. The facility is being supplied with source separated commercial food collected from the Dublin area as well as belly grass and sludges from a nearby meat processing plant. The immediate plan for the compost is to use it on Waddock’s farm. Nutrient management plans were drawn up by agricultural consultants. But long term plans include selling the high-quality compost to landscapers, the local authority, contractors and gardeners. This composting facility is licensed under the Animal by-products Regulations. Contact: Joe Waddock Kilmaster, Carlow, Co. Carlow Tel: 087 2620002 Fax: 059 916 3597 Email: joe@waddockcomposting.ie |
