Burnsie Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi all. my landlady came round the other day and cut down a hedge, but left all the cuttings on my back yard. I therefore need to dispose of them. I've seen people use these green garden waste bags before. Where can I get them from? I've tried black bags but the garden waste just rips them to bits. if I can get them in bags I can get them in my car and take them a somewhere for recycling. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alternageek Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I believe you can order some bags from Veolia. Theyre not free, but you get like ten bags and I think theyll collect them for you as well. http://www.veoliaenvironmentalservices.co.uk/Sheffield/Collections/Garden-Waste/Green-Bins/ Its been a while since we had to do that, so it could be out of date. Could try to drop them an email or ringing on Monday to see whats available to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I use the ones from sainsburys which are about £1.80 for ten, but if veolia come and pick it up then as above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidneystone Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 Just use strong black sacks or rubble sacks, they don't have to be garden sacks if you are taking them in the car to the tip, as you have to empty them when you get there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
florence kat Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The system of green bags bought from Veolia (which I thought was good ) has this year been replaced by a Green Bin system. You pay to have a green bin which is emptied fortnightly, the season being from April to November. You can opt into the system even as late as October, and pay accordingly. For those of us with trees which do not start shedding their leaves until Oct/Nov, the green bags were ideal. The green bin is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 The local libraries used to sell the green waste sacks, but as the poster above mentioned that scheme was superseded by the green bins, which started off as a free service and then became a chargeable service. If you're taking the rubbish to the tip, you can buy strong black bags (rubble sacks) at supermarkets or DIY stores which won't tear. But shouldn't your landlady be sorting this out??
