Green bins (garden waste)
What you can put in your green bin
We can accept
- Grass
- Leaves
- Weeds
- Flowers and plants
- Hedge trimmings
- Branches (not more than 10cm thick)
- Prunings and twigs
- Fruit blown down by the wind
If you have extra garden waste
Depending on what type and how much extra waste you have, you can:
- Take it to the Recycling Village
- Begin home composting
- Put small amounts in your grey household bin
- Get a full garden clearance
- Get an additional green bin
Please do not
- Overload your bin (our crews must be able to safely move the bin and it must be lifted safely by the bin lorry). Please make sure the lid of your bin closes before putting your bin out for collection.
- Line your bin. Bin liners contaminate the waste and can damage shredding equipment used during composting.
