What Happens to the Garden Waste?
Garden clearance doesn't end once the vegetation has been cut back. Removing and disposing of the green waste is an important part of the job, helping to leave your garden clean, tidy and ready to enjoy.
Whether it's hedge cuttings, brambles, shrubs or fallen branches, professional garden clearance includes collecting and removing the waste produced during the work.
What Is Green Waste?
Green waste is biodegradable garden material, including:
Hedge cuttings.
Grass cuttings.
Weeds.
Brambles.
Ivy.
Shrubs.
Small branches.
Leaves and other garden vegetation.
The amount of waste varies depending on the size and condition of the garden.
Why Waste Removal Matters
Overgrown gardens can produce far more waste than many people expect.
Simply cutting vegetation back isn't enough if large piles of branches and cuttings are left behind. Removing the waste leaves the garden clean, improves access and allows you to enjoy the newly cleared space straight away.
Responsible Disposal
Professional garden clearance includes removing green waste responsibly.
Garden waste should always be disposed of appropriately, helping to reduce unnecessary fly-tipping and ensuring vegetation is managed in an environmentally responsible way.
Can I Keep the Garden Waste?
Of course.
Some customers choose to keep logs for firewood, retain woodchip for use as mulch or compost smaller amounts of garden waste.
Before work begins, we'll discuss your preferences and make sure the waste is handled in the way that best suits you.
