What is coarse garden waste?
To produce good compost, it is important that only coarse garden waste is disposed of. If, for example, sand, soil or railway sleepers are mixed with the coarse garden waste, it becomes unusable for compost production. Contaminated loads will therefore not be accepted free of charge.
