Why recycle garden waste?
Garden waste sent to landfill rots without air and creates methane, a greenhouse gas.
If you are signed up to the garden waste service you are benefiting the environment because the waste collected is converted into high quality compost rather than simply going to waste. This compost is then used for gardening and farming, which can also help the ecology and atmosphere.
Any garden waste dumped in landfill with other rubbish cannot be broken down in a controlled environment and used to make high quality compost.
