Green Sacks
The second method is for us to collect your green garden waste in special green sacks. When you have filled a minimum of 3 or a maximum of 12 green sacks you can then contact Veolia Environmental Services on 0114 273 4567 and arrange for a free collection.

Green Bins
20% of the waste created at home is garden waste. If we put this in our wheeled bins we are creating a problem when it goes to landfill. Biodegradable waste creates potentially harmful landfill gases when it decomposes at landfill sites where it is mixed with other waste. By recycling your garden waste, a valuable resource can be created to enrich soil and make our environment greener, in every sense of the word.
