What Can and Can’t Be Recycled? A Simple Guide

Introduction

Spring and summer are perfect for sprucing up your garden—but the cleanup afterwards can leave you with heaps of garden waste. From grass clippings and branches to unwanted plants, proper disposal can be challenging. At BritClear, we provide hassle-free, eco-friendly garden waste clearance across Kent, Essex, and London, helping you keep your garden pristine without the stress.

Types of Garden Waste

Typical garden waste includes:

• Grass clippings and weeds

• Tree branches, twigs, and logs

• Leaves and shrubs

• Soil, turf, and compost

• Old fencing and garden furniture

Understanding what can be recycled or composted is essential. Organic waste, such as clippings and leaves, can typically be composted, while treated wood or old furniture might require specialist recycling.
