i want to make compost as a bussines"

I agree with some of the mentioned above.

You would need to have permission from the local council , and possibly a licence to deal with waste. Not certain on the details.

This is something I thought of doing myself.

But my way would be , as part of a bigger company.

Like one charging companies to bring you the green waste. And processing it the machinery to do this is very expensive.

green waste. Woodchips from tree surgeons plus logs for processing for firewood.

Grass clippings , hedge cuttings from garden maintenance companies.

Waste manure from feedstock.

Soil from skip yards/ landscapers

just about anything You can process or compost.

As mentioned above , use the compost finished product to grow vegetables possibly even have some chickens , ducks.

It all depends how big you want to go.

It's definitely something we need more of to stop green waste going into landfills.

You could even grow worms and mushrooms as a byproduct to sell.

Possibly use a mixture of very well rotted compost and top soil to grow turf to sell.

But prepared for a lot of negativity , especially if the site , is near homes.
