Hire a Skip Bin for Garden & Green Waste

What Counts as Garden and Green Waste

Garden and green waste is natural organic material from your yard or garden, and nothing else. This waste type suits grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings, shrubs, weeds, bark, palm fronds, small tree prunings, branches, and tree trunks or larger limbs up to 250 mm in diameter.

This is the right waste category for many of the jobs people put off for months. Maybe the hedge has crept too far over the driveway. Maybe the fallen branches are still sitting where they dropped after strong weather. Maybe you have been meaning to clear the garden beds, tidy around the shed, or finally get on top of the pile behind the fence. A green waste skip bin makes those jobs simpler because you can cut, drag and load everything straight into the bin in one spot.

If your load is mixed with other rubbish, it may belong in a different category. You can compare the options on our Skip Bin Waste Types page.

What You Can Put in a Green Waste Skip Bin

Green waste skip bins are for clean organic garden material only.

Allowed materials include grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings, shrubs, weeds, flowers, bark, palm fronds, branches, small tree prunings, and tree trunks or larger branches up to 250 mm in diameter.

Green waste is bulky, so it helps to cut it down smaller as you go. The smaller the material, the better it compacts in the skip. All of our skips, apart from the 2m³ mini skip, have a walk-in door, which makes it easier to step in safely and spread the load properly as you work.

Choosing The Right Green Waste Skip Bin Size

Green waste is lighter than soil, concrete and bricks, but it takes up a lot of room quickly. That is why booking the right size matters.

A 2m³ green waste skip bin suits a small garden tidy-up, a few piles of prunings, hedge trimmings, or a compact clean-up around a courtyard or small yard.

A 3m³ green waste skip bin suits a solid pruning job, a medium hedge trim, several garden beds, or a bigger weekend yard clean-up where the green waste starts building up faster than expected.

A 4m³ green waste skip bin suits larger gardens, heavier pruning, bigger shrubs, multiple garden areas, or a proper seasonal clean-up around the home.

A 6m³ green waste skip bin suits larger properties, overgrown gardens, larger tree and hedge-pruning jobs, or clean-ups where there is simply a lot of bulky green material to remove in one go.

If you are not sure which skip size is best, check our Skip Bin Sizes page or call Wendy before booking. A quick chat usually helps people get the right bin first time.

How To Load Green Waste Properly

Green waste skip bins must be loaded level with the top edge of the skip bin or lower. Do not heap the material above the rim or let branches hang out beyond the bin’s perimeter.

Because green waste is bulky, you will usually fit much more in the skip if you cut the material down smaller and compact it as you go. Spreading the load properly across the skip also makes collection easier and safer.

If the skip is overloaded or the wrong waste type has been mixed through the load, collection may be delayed until the problem is fixed. Booking the right waste type first and loading it properly is usually the easiest and best-value option.
