Green Waste

Green Waste, also termed Garden Waste, is biological Organic Waste that originates from a garden or from a similar origin such as from horticultural activities or parks etc. DEFRA[1] figures are reported as 'Vegetable Waste' with over 70% being Green Waste from Households with 3.5 million tonnes from England alone in 2020.

Local Authority data[2] for England suggests this figure was 3.6 million tonnes in 2022/23 and this represented 38% of recycling perfromance (this did, however, inlcude some food waste collected with the Green Waste).
