What are the benefits of having a green wheelie bin?
It means you can recycle your garden waste and food waste on your doorstep rather than having to drive to the tip or putting it in with the rest of your rubbish to get buried in the ground. Burying green waste in rubbish tips causes damage to the environment because it produces greenhouse gases. Composting green waste significantly reduces these gas emissions. This new service means green waste is separated from your other rubbish and allows it to be collected from your doorstep, which is much better for everyone. It may also save you money if, like many people, you currently pay someone to take your garden clippings and trimmings away.
