What goes in my green bin?

Did you know when your garden waste is recycled it is transformed into nutrient rich soil conditioner. This can then be used in a range of different ways, in agriculture, as nitrogen rich multi- purpose compost and land reclamation. 

You can put these items in your green bin:

• Grass cuttings/leaves
• Flowers/plants/weeds
• Privet/hedge clippings
• Small branches and twigs

Please do not put these items in your green bin; it will be contaminated and will not be emptied:

• Cardboard (this goes in your green bag)
• Food waste (this goes in your food caddy)
• Plastic (this goes in your white bag)
• Soil/rubble (please take to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre)
• Straw/hay/pet bedding (please put in your brown bin (bagged) or take to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre)
• Compostable bags (put in your brown bin, or a compost heap in your garden)
