Green waste removal is a licensed activity. Your waste collector must hold a valid waste carrier licence and provide you with a waste transfer note — a document proving that your garden waste has been taken to an authorised facility. This isn't paperwork you need to chase; a professional green waste removal company handles it automatically.
Green waste collected in Bordesley Green — grass, leaves, branches, and garden trimmings — is processed under PAS 100 compost standards or through anaerobic digestion at registered facilities. Windrow composting and soil conditioner production are common end-uses; your waste becomes mulch or horticultural material rather than ending under a landfill. Some operators manage the green waste exemption (U13 waste classification), which streamlines the process for domestic and small commercial collections. Ask your removal provider for confirmation of their facility's accreditation and whether they supply a waste transfer note upon collection.
