Green waste collected in Walsgrave must be handled under environmental permit exemption U13 (compostable waste processing), or delivered to a registered facility. A licensed green waste removal company will hold an Environmental Permit or operate under an exemption, meaning your garden trimmings are processed lawfully — typically by windrow composting or anaerobic digestion — rather than sent to landfill.
You'll receive a waste transfer note (also called a Duty of Care certificate) listing the waste collected, the contractor's details, and the facility destination. This protects both you and the operator if the waste is later queried. Reputable contractors recycle green waste into soil conditioner or compost product for landscaping use, closing the loop and reducing processing costs for future collections. Always check your provider holds appropriate Environmental Agency registration and can supply proof upon request.
