Green Waste Removal: What Happens to Your Garden Waste
Overgrown yard, storm mess, or a big prune that's left a mountain of branches? Here's the lowdown on green waste removal.
By Matt from Lanky Services ·
What counts as green waste
Branches, prunings, hedge trimmings, lawn clippings, leaves, weeds and storm debris are all green waste. Bagged or loose, big or small, it all adds up quickly after a weekend in the garden.
Where it goes
Good green waste removal does not just dump it, green waste is mulched and recycled where possible, turning your garden mess into something useful instead of landfill.
Clearing a whole yard
For a full-yard clean-up or a storm mess, we bring the van and the muscle, load it all and leave the place tidy. You keep the weekend, we keep the branches.
