Overview of Arrangements for Green Waste Collection
The collection of Green Waste (also termed Garden Waste) can be via two main types of system:
- Segregated Collection - involves the collection of Green Waste in one receptacle (usually a 240 litre bin, but in some cases a reusable sack) and collected in a single compartment compaction vehicle. The subsequent processing of the Green Waste is generally in Windrow Composting but can also be used in In Vessel Composting.
- Single Stream Co-mingled (fully Co-mingled) - involves the collection of Food Waste and Green Waste in one receptacle (usually a 240 litre bin) and collected in a single compartment compaction vehicle. The subsequent processing of the mixed material is in an In Vessel Composting system but it is also possible to process in Windrow Composting in specific circumstances.
A key decision for the Waste Collection Authority in the provision of this service specifically is whether it is provided on a Green Charged or Green Not Charged basis as further detailed in the Collection System Design page.
A Waste Collection Authority is permitted to charge for the collection of its residents Green Waste via the provisions provided for in the Controlled Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2012 as amended. This allows the Waste Collection Authority to recover the cost of collection from those who use it most.
Green Waste collections are either charged via a one-off annual payment relating to the emptying of the container/ 240L bin containing the Green Waste or via the issue of a set number of sacks on a roll within which the residents can place their green waste for collection. Whichever option is chosen is dependant on the service provided by the Waste Collection Authority.
Variations
The collection arrangements can therefore vary according to the type of broad approach, the containers used and the frequency of collection. Collection arrangements will also vary according to the way the service is linked to the collection of Dry Recyclables, Food and Residual arrangements - the combination of which is further set out in a separate page on Collection System Design. In addition, the Waste Collection Authority may vary service delivery throughout the year with some reducing or even ceasing collection over the winter months or just over the Christmas period.
Below are the Collection Authorities that utilise this arrangement and listed below for comparative purposes.
