Garden waste

We offer a paid-for garden waste service. Garden waste bins are emptied between April and March with a break during the winter.

More than 26,000 households in North East Lincolnshire are recycling their garden waste. We recycled more than 8,500 tonnes of garden waste in 2021. It is recycled locally and made into compost.

Crews will collect

• grass
• hedge cuttings
• plants and cut flowers from your garden
• weeds
• fallen fruit
• twigs and small branches

Real Christmas trees

Recycle your real Christmas tree at the tip or chop it up and put it in your garden waste bin if you have one. If your tree has a root-ball and has been watered regularly, you can re-plant it for next year.
