While emptying garden bags and garden bins in West Auckland and Central Auckland each week we come across some "surprises" hidden in the green waste recepticals.
From plastic to old shoes or dead pigeons you can find almost anything in there.
Please always make sure that you use your garden bag or garden bin for green waste only.
It is important to keep your different types of rubbish seperated as it otherwise creates problems for the process of recycling.
So what does actually go into your garden bin or garden bag?
leaves
branches (no bigger than 100 mm in diameter)
foliage, greenery
plant roots
weeds
lawn clippings
flax and bamboo by special arrangement
