Green waste collection: what to expect
A garden waste bin is fine for weekly mowing, but not for the results of a big hedge cut, a tree being taken down or an autumn tidy. We collect large amounts of green waste in one visit, loose or bagged, and take it to a composting facility.
We collect from homeowners, gardeners, landscapers and tree surgeons across Ipswich. For gardeners and landscapers who produce green waste every week, we can arrange regular collections or a skip on account.
Green waste is turned into compost and soil improvers, which go back onto gardens and farmland. Keeping it free of soil, stones and general rubbish helps it compost properly.
Green waste we collect

Prunings and smaller branches.
Grass and leaves
Bagged or loose.

From clearing borders.

Green waste tips
Keep it separate
Mixing green waste with general rubbish means it cannot be composted and costs more to dispose of.
Not accepted in green waste
Japanese knotweed, soil in large amounts, stones, plastic pots and treated timber should not go in green waste.
Bag or pile?
We collect loose piles and bags. Loose piles near the road are quickest for us to load.
Regular collections
Gardeners and landscapers can book weekly or fortnightly collections from their yard or customers' gardens.
