Garden waste collection

What can I recycle?

Using the garden waste collection service you can use your wheeled bin, reusable or compostable sacks to recycle:

  • grass cuttings
  • old garden or house plants
  • twigs
  • hedge trimmings
  • weeds and flowers
  • leaves

You are not able to recycle:

  • plastic pots, trays or bags
  • soil, rocks and stones
  • branches
  • tree trunks, stumps or logs (larger than 15cm in diameter)
  • vegetable peelings or other food waste including fallen fruit (these can be recycled using your food waste recycling bin)

Please try not to overfill your containers, as it can make them heavy and difficult to move. 

The council does not accept garden waste in the normal household rubbish collection.

Garden waste will be accepted free of charge for composting at reuse and recycling centres
