What You Can Put in Your Green Bin

Green bins are all about garden glory! So, toss in your grass clippings, leaves, hedge trimmings, and small prunings. Got some weeds wreaking havoc? Pull them out and add them to the mix. Just remember to keep it all green and garden-related.

What NOT to Put in Your Green Bin

Here’s where things get dicey. Avoid putting in any nasty non-garden stuff. That includes food scraps, pet waste, plastic, or general waste. These items contaminate the compost and can lead to bin rejection.

Keeping Your Green Bin Collection Smooth Sailing

Here are a few bonus tips to ensure a seamless green bin collection experience:

Bin It Up: Place your green bin at the kerbside by 6:30 am on collection day.

  • Lid Shut, Job Done: Ensure the lid is fully closed before collection.
  • Overstuffed Ain’t the Stuff: Don’t overfill your bin; the crew needs to be able to lift it safely.

    • Conclusion

    September shouldn’t be a time to stress about overflowing green bins. With a little know-how and the help of Sefton Council’s website, you can keep your garden waste managed and your green bin collection running smoothly.
