Start Recycling the Garden!

When garden waste decomposes in a landfill site it produces methane, a potentially explosive gas, which contributes to climate change. In fact, for every tonne of biodegradable waste that ends up in landfill, 300-500 cubic metres of methane is generated.

Yet garden cuttings are a valuable source of nutrients which could be turned into something altogether more useful – COMPOST!

As well as composting at home, you can also take advantage of the garden waste collection service offered by your local authority. The collection service takes your garden waste to central composting at sites around the county.
