"Robert dons protective clothing and breathing gear to visit a recycling centre in Canford, near Bournemouth. This state-of-the-art facility transforms 30,000 tonnes of rubbish into rich compost every year. Compost normally takes a long time to prepare, but this facility speeds up the process. After just eight days, the compost is ready to be turned over – using a gigantic tractor with spinning blades. A few weeks later, the compost is ready to serve as ordinary garden mulch."
