Garden waste removal is an essential part of keeping a neat and tidy property. However, the task can be daunting when the pile of green waste grows and grows. Fortunately, there are many ways to get rid of it quickly and efficiently. In this article, we take a look at a few methods for garden waste collection that are both cost-effective and eco-friendly.

Green waste is generally made up of twigs, leaves, branches and grass clippings, but it also includes other organic matter such as vegetable peelings and egg shells. However, not everything that is organic can be included in green waste bins – tree stumps and large branches, for example, are usually considered brown waste and cannot be placed in the green waste collection system.

One of the best and most eco-friendly ways to dispose of green waste is by composting it. This keeps the waste right on your property, where it can be used to create nutrient-rich soil for gardening, and it’s far more efficient than simply throwing the waste away. You can purchase compost bins from most hardware stores, and they are an affordable investment for anyone looking to reduce their environmental footprint.

Another option for getting rid of green waste is to use a yard clean up service. These companies typically charge by the load or bag, and they have vehicles that are specially equipped to deal with large volumes of green waste. If you’re going to hire a yard clean up service, it’s important to do your research first and find out more about the company before hiring them. Ideally, you should ask for quotes from three or more different companies and compare their rates. It’s also a good idea to check that the company is insured, licensed to dispose of waste and that they have a solid reputation in your area.

Many people don’t realize that when they dump their green waste somewhere it can have a negative impact on the environment. This is because dumping green waste can cause seeds to grow (especially in areas where there are natural weeds) and increase fire fuel loads, disrupt visual amenity and cost local governments money on weed control and forest fire prevention.

Some people may find that they produce more green waste than their local council’s green bins can handle, and in these cases, a dumpster rental might be the best option. These companies can be expensive, though, so it’s worth doing your research to find a reliable and reputable company before renting a dumpster.

Alternatively, some people might prefer to have a bonfire with their green waste. This can be a great way to get rid of large amounts of waste in a short amount of time, but it’s important to choose a safe spot and to burn the waste at an appropriate time of day to avoid disturbing neighbours. Additionally, a bonfire can produce a lot of smoke, which may be a nuisance for some people living in apartments.
