When it comes to keeping your garden tidy, getting rid of waste the right way matters. Whether you’re cutting back hedges, clearing old plants, or tackling a full garden overhaul, knowing what can (and can’t) go in your garden waste collection is key.

If you’re searching for garden waste removal near me or garden waste removal Gateshead, here’s everything you need to know before you book a collection.


What Counts as Garden Waste?

Garden waste covers anything that’s grown in your garden and can naturally decompose. That includes:

  • Grass cuttings
  • Leaves and weeds
  • Hedge trimmings and small branches
  • Flowers, plants and soil-free roots
  • Small prunings and twigs

If it’s organic and from your garden, we can usually take it as part of our Gateshead garden bin collection or green waste disposal service.


What Can’t Go in Garden Waste

Not everything from your garden is classed as “green waste.” Some materials need to be disposed of separately. Items we can’t collect as garden waste include:

  • Soil, stones, and rubble
  • Large tree stumps or logs
  • Plastic plant pots or bags
  • Garden furniture or ornaments
  • DIY and building waste
  • Treated or painted wood

If you’ve got any of these, don’t worry — our wider waste removal Gateshead service can handle mixed loads, bulky items, and one-off collections.


Why Proper Garden Waste Disposal Matters

Dumping green waste in general rubbish or leaving it to pile up can cause contamination, attract pests, and harm the environment.

By choosing a licensed local provider like NE Wasteaways, you’re making sure your waste is collected safely and recycled wherever possible. Most of the green waste we collect is turned into compost or biomass fuel, keeping it out of landfill and helping Gateshead stay green.
