What we do
Garden Cuttings and Green Waste Disposal
Affordable garden cuttings and green waste removal
Whatever quantity, we can clear any tree clippings and garden cuttings you have. Whether Leyandii clippings, piles of mowed grass or chopped down connifers, our team can load anything from anywhere in your garden. We charge clippings by cubic yard. In any collection, we can take up to 26 cubic yards. We put clippings into big grab bags in order to make the process faster when loading onto the truck.
Green waste and Garden clippings recycling
The majority of green waste we take is sent to a local transfer station. Here it will be chipped and prepared ready to be composted. In addition to green waste, we are able to clear lots of other things from your garden including a garden shed, old furniture, greenhouse rubbish and other things. We are only able to take little amounts of certain items such as rubble, concrete and stones. We cannot take soil, only that within a pot.

For garden waste, we bring robust hand tools for tidy dismantling of furniture or pallets, and where appropriate, wood chippers and leaf blowers to reduce bulk safely. We segregate streams at source--green waste, soil, branches, and non-recyclables--so recycling rates stay high and landfill use stays low. Every job follows a safe-system of work, boundary protection, and site-clean completion.
