Garden waste disposal Newcastle

[Gardener1983]

Hi I am starting a small garden maintainence company I haven’t had a lot of waste so far but I want to say that I can take green waste away for customers. Could anyone share where they take this? Mainly waste that could be used for compost. So would need a green recycle company I could drop off at. Thanks

Have a look at the tip site directory, there are some commercial compost companies on there (at least near me).

If you have a small chipper then chip is something you can leave with customers or give to allotments, farms, golf courses etc - but hedges and weeds don't chip well so depends what you are doing whether that will work well.

You will also need to get a waste carriers licence. A lower tier should be ok, but check first as everyone’s set up is different. They used to be free for lower tier and just a paper work exercise but I’m not sure if that still the case.

 

our local landfill also runs a composting set up, £x per ton over the weigh bridge most areas have something similar

I just love it when you try to help someone and get no answer.

I use either Newcastle city council's composting site at Newburn or Greenleaf Recycling at Bedlington. The council charge by weight and Greenleaf charge by vehicle size. They both sell the resulting compost, but i have to say that Greenleaf's is a finer grade. Hope this helps!
