In North Warwickshire, there are clear restrictions on what can be placed in the garden waste (green lidded) bin. Here’s a handy overview:
| What You Can Put in Your Green Bin | What You Can't Put in Your Green Bin |
|---|---|
| Grass cuttings | Plastic bags (including biodegradable bags) |
| Leaves | Soil or turf |
| Weeds and flowers | Dog poo and cat litter (should go in black bin) |
| Twigs and small branches | Ash (should go in black bin) |
| Raw and cooked food (meat, fish, vegetables, etc.) | Bricks and rubble |
| Compostable bags (not plastic bags) | Any plastics (plant pots, garden furniture, etc.) |
| Pet bedding from herbivorous animals (wood shavings, etc.) | |
| Christmas trees (cut into pieces) |
It's important to follow these guidelines to ensure your garden waste is properly processed. If you're unsure about specific items, checking with the council or their website can provide further clarification.
