DIY Composting

  • Free nutrient-rich compost for your garden
  • Great for grass, leaves and soft green waste
  • Takes 6–12 months to break down
  • Can't handle thick branches or large volumes

Professional Removal

  • Everything cleared in one visit
  • Handles trees, hedges, soil & rubble
  • Guaranteed eco-friendly recycling
  • There is a cost involved

The Verdict

Compost what you can, and call professionals for the rest β€” large clearances, woody waste and bulky items are best handled by a licensed team that guarantees responsible disposal.
