Green Waste Skip Hire
A green waste skip, also known as a garden waste skip, is a straightforward and eco-friendly way to clear organic waste from garden projects or clear-outs of any size, whether residential or industrial. Available in a variety of sizes, our skips are ideal for grass, leaves, hedge trimmings, plants, branches, and weeds, which can quickly pile up.
Why Use A Skip For Garden Waste?
Whether you’re trimming back hedges, clearing an overgrown lawn, or managing a larger landscaping project, our skips make garden waste clearance quick and stress-free.
If you want a simple and safe solution for your green waste disposal, our skip hire service is quick, reliable, and affordable. By choosing Eco Waste & Recycling, your materials are collected promptly and taken to our local transfer station, where they are sent on for composting and recycling. This ensures your outdoor space stays tidy while supporting a sustainable cycle that gives organic matter a valuable second life.
The Benefits of Composting
When you use our service for green waste disposal, your garden offcuts are not wasted. Through specialist composting, natural materials are broken down and turned into nutrient-rich soil improvers and mulch. This reduces the need for artificial fertilisers, cuts down landfill use, and makes the most of what nature already provides. Recycling your garden materials also helps reduce costs while protecting the environment.

- Prohibited items for all skips: full list here
It’s worth noting that many garden and landscaping projects also create general or hardcore waste including bricks, slabs, or patio rubble. These items cannot go into a garden waste skip and will require a separate skip for inert waste.
Any items placed in a garden skip that are not green waste will incur an extra charge. Some prohibited items require specialist disposal, and putting them in your skip may also result in refusal of collection.
