Our aim is to recycle as much of the green waste generated by our services as possible,

We achieve this by utilize the home collection recycling facilities offered by most local authorities thoughout the country

Were this is not possible we encourage our clients to consider composting the material on site. by adding equal amounts of greens (greens are things like vegetable peel, fruit scraps, teabags, grass cuttings, not to be used if the lawn has been treated with any propriety selective weed killers, and light hedge clippings, they break down quickly and keep the bin moist.) and browns ( browns are things like straw, wood chippings, sawdust, and shredded paper and cardboard. They give the compost its fibre and allow good air circulation.) will really help the natural composting process. It also works best if you add lots of materials (chopped into small pieces) at once.

The ‘forbidden’ list of things never to compost includes cooked vegetable, dairy products, meat, fish, bones, pet litter, disposable nappies, plastic, glass and metal. The composting process usually takes 6-18 months. In the meantime if you do go out to buy any ready-made composts, soil improvers or mulches, look out for the reduced peat or peat-free products - they also contain recycled products! The final product will be a very dark brown or black compost at the bottom of your compost bin. You can use it directly on your garden or blend it with sand and soil to make a potting mix. For information or advice on home composting, contact your local authority recycling officer or visit http://www.compost.org.uk

Where composting on site is not possible all our operators hold waste carrier licenses which enable the transfer of waste from the point of generation to licensed disposal sites which would normally be run by your local authority. This waste however is then classed as commercial and is likely to incur a  disposal charge based on the weight of the material being disposed of.
