Spring and summer mean one thing for gardens across Greater Manchester — a mountain of green waste. From pruned branches to old sheds, garden waste removal is one of our most common requests. Here's what you need to know.
What Counts as Garden Waste?
- Grass cuttings and lawn trimmings
- Hedge and shrub clippings
- Tree branches and leaves
- Soil and turf (light loads)
- Weeds and plant material
- Old compost and plant pots
- Decking and light timber
For heavy garden waste including large amounts of soil or rubble, our builders waste service is more appropriate — see our builders waste removal page for details.
Can I Put Garden Waste in My Council Bin?
In Bury, garden waste collection is available via a paid subscription from Bury Council. However, these services are limited to fortnightly collections and aren't suitable for large clearances.
How Our Garden Waste Removal Works
Our garden waste collection is priced by volume, starting from £54. We collect directly from your garden — no bagging or transporting required. For dedicated garden clearance services, visit our garden waste clearances page.
What Happens to the Garden Waste?
All green waste is sent to licensed composting and biomass facilities. Woody material is chipped for renewable energy. We aim for 95% landfill diversion on every load.
