Garden waste is produced in most homes and can include a variety of items. It can be a source of compost, mulch, and other biodegradable materials.
Often this can be quite large, so it is important to have a service that will pick up your garden waste regularly and in a timely manner. We can do this for you through our Garden Waste Collection service.
We collect your garden waste and deliver it to a specialist composting facility in Lackford where only garden waste is collected for treatment. This process is energy efficient and makes a high quality compost that is suitable for horticulture.
Composting is a natural way to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, and it helps to promote healthy soils. It also uses less energy and produces less CO2 emissions than incineration.
A range of private companies can also accept your yard waste for recycling. These can include grass cuttings, leaves, brush, tree branches and stumps as well as untreated wood.
Many of these materials can be shredded and mixed into your garden beds. This can help to speed decomposition and stop leaves blowing away, and is also good for wildlife habitats.
The compost can be used for weed control and potting plants. It can be a valuable resource for gardeners and can help to save on water bills, too.
In England, households produce an average of 0.79 kg of garden waste per day, or 288 kg per year on a per capita basis. However, the quantity generated by rural and urban households differed substantially.
