Why can't I put pet bedding in my garden waste bin(s)?

We are not able to take animal bedding or wastes in the garden waste bins. Even where the animals are vegetarian ,and the bedding is hay or straw, the waste is still the by-product of an animal. The facility we use is not licensed to take these materials.

We acknowledge that pet bedding will compost beautifully but we cannot accept them due to regulations. Our garden waste collection is just that, a garden waste collection. We suggest you compost these materials in a home compost bin which are available at subsided prices from Surrey County Council.
