What goes in your garden waste bin
Your brown bin is for garden waste only - your bin won't be collected if it's contaminated with other waste or if it is too heavy.
Make sure your brown bin is located in the same place you'd normally leave your refuse bin by 6.30am on collection day.
Use your brown bin for:
- grass cuttings
- small tree prunings
- dead flowers and house plants
- leaves and weeds
Don't use your brown bin for:
- plastic bags
- plant containers
- rubble and gravel
- tree trunks and large branches
- soil
- tools
- food or animal waste
- pesticides
- turf
Rather than putting your garden waste and some kitchen waste in your brown bin have you thought about composting?
