What green waste can you dispose of?
If you’ve ever wondered what items are suitable for disposal in a green or ‘garden’ waste bin, you’re in the right place!
Whether you’re a seasoned recycler or just getting started, we’ve put together some helpful information and tips to help you get the most out of your green waste bin — and do your part for a cleaner, greener environment.
First, what is green waste?
Green waste refers to biodegradable organic material that comes from plants and their byproducts — including grass clippings, leaves, branches, prunings, flowers, and garden trimmings.
It’s important to keep green waste separate from other rubbish, as it can be recycled into valuable products such as compost or mulch.
By disposing of green waste properly, you help reduce landfill, promote sustainability, and support a healthier environment for everyone.

The benefits of green waste recycling
Recycling green waste brings many environmental benefits and supports a more sustainable future. By keeping green waste out of landfills, we reduce landfill volume and the environmental issues associated with waste disposal.
It also helps limit methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas produced when organic matter breaks down in landfills. Through composting, green waste can be turned into nutrient-rich compost or mulch, which improves soil health, boosts plant growth, and reduces the need for chemical fertilisers.
This closed-loop approach conserves resources and promotes a more eco-friendly and sustainable way to manage garden waste.
