How often should green waste be collected?

How often green waste needs collecting depends on how quickly it builds up around the property. Monthly collection can suit households that regularly mow, prune and maintain their gardens, while every-second-month collection may be enough when less waste is produced. Larger garden clean-ups may also create a need for an extra service. A suitable schedule helps keep garden waste manageable between collections.

What types of garden waste can be collected?

Green waste collection is suited to common garden materials such as grass clippings, palm fronds and tree branches. These materials can be placed in a garden bag as they are produced during regular yard maintenance or larger clean-ups. Household rubbish and other unsuitable waste should be kept separate. Keeping the contents to suitable green waste also allows the collected material to be processed appropriately.

What happens to green waste after collection?

Green waste does not necessarily need to end up with general household rubbish after it leaves the property. Collected garden material can be processed into mulch, giving materials such as clippings and branches another use. This is why separating suitable green waste from other types of rubbish is important. For this service, the contents collected from garden bags are turned into mulch.
