Composting garden waste in your own garden is by far the most environmentally friendly way of dealing with this material.
If you are unable to compost all of your garden waste at home, you can join a fortnightly garden waste collection scheme.
Once we have collected your garden waste we take it to be recycled into compost.
Garden sacks
Reusable garden waste sacks are supplied for you to fill. These sacks are collected fortnightly from your kerbside on the same day of the week as your recycling collections (some exceptions may apply).
Garden waste placed in normal refuse sacks will not be collected.
There is a minimum purchase requirement of two sacks and a maximum of four.
