Summer is the perfect time to enjoy your garden, but if your outdoor space is overgrown or cluttered with old garden furniture, it can be difficult to make the most of it.
A large garden clearance can restore order to your space, from cutting back overgrown vegetation to removing branches, bulky items and garden debris.
The challenge is then dealing with all the waste left behind. That’s where a professional waste removal service can help, clearing it quickly and efficiently so you can spend more time enjoying your garden.
Why Is Proper Garden Waste Disposal Important?
Garden waste needs to be handled properly, just like any other form of rubbish.
When your garden waste mixes with other rubbish, it becomes contaminated, so any recyclable materials can’t be processed properly and end up in a landfill. This has a wider environmental impact and puts extra pressure on waste management systems.
Whether it’s garden waste or general rubbish, each has its own strict rules set by local councils to make sure your waste is handled safely and responsibly.
What Makes a Large Garden Clearance Difficult?
Overflowing Brown Bins
For small jobs, your brown garden waste bins usually do the job, but they can fill up quickly when you’re doing a big garden clearance. Once that happens, it can be hard to keep on top of everything, and waste can start piling up.
When the brown bin isn’t an option, some homeowners consider:
- Composting – This involves allowing organic material to decompose naturally. If you have a large volume of waste, it can take several months for the waste to break down.
- Burning garden waste – Burning waste can be a quick way to reduce large volumes of material. However, it is generally not recommended as it can produce smoke, air pollution and fire risks.
Some councils have limits on garden waste collection. For example, Leeds City Council says it will not collect garden waste if you already have access to brown bin collections. They also allow up to 5 items or 4 bags per collection, and the rubbish must be double-bagged.
Physical Demand
Large garden clearances require a lot of lifting and manoeuvring. This can quickly become physically exhausting, especially when waste needs to be moved from different areas of the garden to a collection point.
Time-Consuming
Clearing the garden is only part of the job. Once the waste has been gathered, it still needs to be sorted, loaded and disposed of correctly. For larger clearances, this can mean multiple trips to recycling centres or waste facilities, turning what seemed like a simple project into a task that takes up an entire weekend.
