Will GREENbins containing soil be emptied?
We do ask that as much soil as possible is shaken off weeds and plants before placing them in the GREENbin. However, we do accept that this not always possible and that some soil is inevitable. We have discussed this issue with the company who composts your garden waste, and are pleased to say that we can now empty GREENbins that have soil around plant roots, plus a small amount of loose soil within the bin. This is acceptable as long as the bin is not too heavy to move and lift onto the collection vehicle. As a rough guide, bins containing less that a bucketful of loose soil will not be too heavy and can be emptied.
