More than the brown bin can cope with
A council garden waste bin is fine for a weekly mow. It’s no use for a hedge you’ve finally cut back, a pile of branches from a felled tree, or a garden that’s been left to itself for a few summers. We collect and clear garden waste across Weston-super-Mare and North Somerset, in whatever state it’s in.
Bagged, loose, in a heap by the gate or still spread across the lawn: we load it, take it away and sweep the paths and patio before we go.
What we take
- Hedge trimmings, branches, prunings and brambles
- Ivy, leaves, grass cuttings and weeds
- Logs and cut-up tree waste
- Old fence panels, posts, trellis and decking boards
- Broken garden furniture, pots, planters and barbecues
- Old netting, tarps, hoses and plastic
- Bagged soil and turf in sensible amounts
- Shed and greenhouse contents
Bulk soil, turf or rubble is priced separately by weight, so tell us roughly how much there is.
Three common jobs
After a big cut-back
You or your gardener have done the hard work, and now there’s a mountain of cuttings. We collect it, often in a short visit.
Overgrown gardens
A rented house, a relative’s home or a property you’ve just bought, where nobody has gardened for a while. We clear the waste and the clutter so you can see what’s there.
Garden makeovers
Old fencing, decking, a rotten shed and the plants you’re replacing, cleared in one go before the new work starts.
We collect and clear. We aren’t gardeners or tree surgeons, so for big trees or anything near power lines, use a qualified tree surgeon and we’ll take the waste away afterwards if they don’t.
A few things worth knowing
Nesting birds
It’s an offence to damage or destroy an active bird’s nest. Most birds nest between March and August, so check hedges and shrubs carefully before cutting in spring and summer, or leave them until autumn.
Japanese knotweed
Knotweed can’t go in ordinary green waste: it has to go to a licensed site. If you think you have it, tell us before we come, and don’t cut it and add it to the pile.
Chemicals
Weedkiller, pesticides, mower fuel and gas bottles need special handling, so tell us about them beforehand and we’ll plan for them in the quote.
Who’s collecting your waste?
If someone offers to take your garden waste for cash and it ends up in a lay-by, you can be fined. Always ask for a waste carrier registration and paperwork. Our guide on checking a waste carrier explains how.
How it works
- Send photos. Show us the pile or the garden, ideally with something for scale, and the route from the garden to the road. Mention steps, narrow side paths or soft ground.
- Fixed quote. A fixed written price based on volume, access and what’s in it. Soil and rubble are priced by weight.
- Collection day. We cut down bulky branches so they load safely, carry everything out and sort as we go: green waste, timber, metal and plastic.
- Sweep and paperwork. Paths, patios and driveways swept, with a Duty of Care waste transfer note available on request.
Where your garden waste goes
Clean green waste goes for composting. Timber from fencing, decking and sheds is separated for recycling, as is metal from old barbecues, frames and tools. Usable garden furniture and pots can go to local reuse projects. Anything left goes to licensed facilities. We’re an Environment Agency registered waste carrier and fully insured.
Need the shed taken down while we’re there? See shed clearance and removal. For a whole property, including the garden, see house clearance.

Garden waste questions
Does it need to be bagged?
No. We can load loose piles. Bags make it quicker, but don’t buy dozens of them on our account.
Can you take soil and rubble?
Yes, in sensible amounts. Bulk soil, turf and rubble are priced separately by weight. For very large amounts, a skip may work out better, and we’ll tell you honestly if so.
Do you cut hedges or fell trees?
No. We clear and remove garden waste. We’ll cut branches down to load them, but the gardening and tree work should be done by a gardener or tree surgeon.
Can you take old fence panels and decking?
Yes. Fence panels, posts, trellis and decking boards are all fine. Concrete posts and bases are heavier and priced by weight.
Is garden waste composted?
Clean green waste is taken for composting. Timber and metal are recycled separately.
