All grass cuttings, hedge trimmings and garden waste can be recycled.
The garden waste can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre (HWRC) and placed in the designated green waste container. Please do not place any other items in this container as it will ruin the composting process.
The garden waste is taken to a centralised composting facility where it is shredded, placed in 'windrows' and composted over a period of 12-16 weeks.
The composted waste is then bagged up and sold as 'Pro-Grow' soil conditioner made from composted garden material generated by households throughout Hampshire. It is rich in nutrients and essential trace elements which reduce slowly, providing plants with an ideal growing medium. It can be purchased at the Household Waste Recycling Centres.
