Go green with Worcester’s

Garden Waste collection scheme

With spring just around the corner, it’s a good time to get ready for a
garden tidy-up – but what to do with all that garden waste?

Worcester City Council’s
garden waste collection
service is an easy and
convenient way to dispose
of your grass cuttings,
hedge trimmings, dead
plants and weeds without
the need to make endless
trips to the tip.

It’s a green way of getting rid
of your green waste as it is all
composted ready for reuse –
and you’ll be reducing your
carbon footprint with fewer
visits to the tip. Not only that
– you’ll have none of that
mess in your car.
