Emails affected by global Microsoft outage
The problem affecting Microsoft services worldwide means our emails are not currently working properly.
We are awaiting advice from Microsoft on when this will be resolved.
Please be advised that we may only receive any submissions to forms on this website once email service is restored.
Our phone lines and face-to-face customer services are open as normal, but waiting times may be longer than usual.
Thank you for your patience at this time.
Things that can go in the brown garden waste bin
- Grass cuttings
- Branches (up to 10cm diameter)
- Clippings and leaves
- Weeds, plants and flowers
Bin liners must not be used in your brown bin. The composting process takes 14 weeks and even biodegradable liners are not compatible.
What happens to the garden waste once it is collected?
Once bulked up the waste is taken by Severn Waste Services to Hill and Moor composting facility near Pershore. The material is shredded and left to compost naturally in large rows. Once the process has fully completed the material is screened and is ready for use as a soil conditioner called Greengrow.
