Which bin for grass, leaves and hedge cuttings?
Usual answer in the UK
Garden waste Garden waste bin
Garden waste goes in your garden waste bin if you have the service, home compost, or the tip.
Also possible: Household waste recycling centre (the tip).
Common mistakes
Soil, rubble, turf and large logs are usually refused in garden bins. Take them to the tip.
Does every council do this?
Most councils follow the answer above, but bins and sorting rules are set locally, and a few councils still do things differently. If your bin has a sticker, or your council sent a leaflet, follow that. Enter your postcode to go straight to your council's guidance.
