How much garden waste can I put in my bin(s)?

You can completely fill your bin if required however the lid must be closed for it to be emptied. Please be aware that if you compact materials down too heavily it may result in the bin being either too heavy for the equipment to lift or it may cause the bin to break and fall into the back of the vehicle (weight is limited to 95kgs).

Sometimes material compacted at the bottom of the bin may not come out when the bin is tipped into the vehicle. Using a few small twigs/branches as the first deposits at the bottom of the bin each time reduces the chance of excessive compaction.
