[Tony Breton]

For the UK, letsrecycle.com
http://www.letsrecycle.com/prices/compostingPrices.jsp has typical compost
prices for the UK over the past few years, VAT in the UK was 17.5% until
last November when it was cut to 15% and indicative prices for Europe are in
a paper by Josef Barth http://www.compostnetwork.info/index.php?id=10

I met with a large-scale composter from Australia last week who processes
biosolids and green materials at several locations. He says that he sells
his 1/2" for over $20/cyd and that sales are strong. He claims that his
businesses are driven as much by sales revenues than by tip prices and is
often surprised when he hears of low bulk compost prices in the US.

Colleagues:

 

I am trying to compile some data on the going prices for a typical 3/8" -
1/2" garden compost in other countries (Europe, Australia/NZ, others).  Does
anyone have any reliable data, please?

 

Thanks!

Craig
