Watch your waste

  • A good prune can be fun and helps keep your garden looking great, but where are your clippings going?
  • Cuttings and other waste such as lawn clippings should always be disposed using the council green waste service - or better still, used for mulching and composting at home.
  • Your local garden centre can advise you more about how to manage your garden waste effectively.

Last night's dinner could bring your garden to life!

  • Setting up a worm farm or a simple compost bin is easy and will recycle your food scraps.
  • Not only will you reduce rubbish going to landfill, you will also add valuable nutrients to your garden naturally.
  • Your local garden centre or council can help you find the right compost system for your garden. There are even options for small gardens and flats!
