Greenwaste and Grass Deliveries
Grass should be delivered separate from greenwaste due to the potential presence of pesticides, herbicides and the likes. Composting does not break down these chemicals so we need to ensure that the grass is kept separate and sent to landfill for disposal.
For clarity unsorted mixed loads of grass and greenwaste will be treated as grass, charged at the grass rate and sent to landfill for disposal.
Please note that from 5 June 2023 all deliveries will be weighed and charged against the relevant tonnage rate. If you have a split load of separated grass and greenwaste you will have to weigh in twice to avoid paying a mixed load charge. Minimum weigh charges will also apply.
