Green bin - garden waste

Green wheelie bins are for garden waste, this is a paid-for service.

Green bin - garden waste

If you subscribe to the garden waste service, your green bin will be emptied every two weeks on the same day as your blue bin.

Yes please:

  • grass cuttings
  • prunings
  • leaves
  • flowers
  • plants
  • weeds   

No thanks:

  • cardboard
  • plastic bags 
  • soil and stones
  • dog or cat waste
  • pet bedding and shavings etc
  • wallpaper
  • timber or plywood
  • food waste*

* please do not put any food waste in your green bin - find out about weekly food waste recycling.

Please don't overfill your green bin - even a half filled bin can quickly become very heavy making it difficult to move and causing problems when the bins are emptied.
