Garden waste
Garden waste includes garden clippings, grass cuttings, leaves and weeds. When collected, these green materials are sent to a composting facility, where they are processed and turned into high-quality, peat-free compost for growing other plants.
How your garden waste can be disposed of
Garden waste can be:
- Composted at home, find out more from the Get Composting website
- Taken to the household waste and recycling centres
- Collected from your home on an optional, paid-for basis on your fortnightly garden waste collection day
- Collected in compostable brown sacks which you can buy to dispose of garden waste on your fortnightly garden waste collection day
