About us
The Green Waste Company is a Cornwall-based, family-run business, with a background of four generations of Cornish farmers, and eight years’ experience of specialised recycling and waste management. Our team are all suitably qualified, experienced, safety-conscious and environmentally aware.

Recycling and composting is a growing and fast-moving business sector, and all our team members are involved in ongoing training and certification to ensure that we keep up with developments. We were one of the first green waste disposal companies in Cornwall, and our long-term strategy for continual improvement and development keeps us at the forefront of waste management.
