Soil Is OK Here

Unlike standard green waste rubbish, this rubbish type accepts soil mixed with garden matter โ€” perfect for garden clean-ups and landscaping jobs.

Cut Large Branches

Break down large branches into smaller pieces to maximise bin space and make processing easier.

Don't Overfill

Keep waste level with the top of the truck. Overfilled trucks cannot be transported safely.
