Overfilled bags
Your garden waste operatives need to be able to lift
the bags to shoulder height in order to tip the waste into the
vehicle. Therefore, overly heavy, or overfilled bags will not
be collected.
What happens to the green garden waste collected?
The green garden waste is taken for
composting locally. Composting is nature's way of
recycling. By turning garden waste into compost less rubbish
will end up in landfill, which means less greenhouse
gases!
Need a green bag?
We will not be providing a delivery service for green
bags. If you do not have a green bag or require an additional
one please visit
the One Stop Shop (see this location pn our i-map), Lynton
House, 255-259 High Road, Ilford, Essex, IG1 1NN. You will be
asked to show proof of address, such as a driving license or
utility bill.
