Garden waste service

The brown Garden waste bins help to dispose of biodegradable waste. Examples of this type of waste include:

  • grass cuttings
  • leaves and flowers
  • shrub and bush clippings
  • small branches and twigs.

Soil, mud, rubble and stones should not be disposed of in your Garden waste bin. Fallen fruit from fruit trees must go in your food waste caddy. See what you need to do on your bin collection day.
