This green waste is stockpiled at TWMC and processed.
The end product is used in rehabilitation works at waste
facilities.
A 7.9% increase on 2014-15 figures is the result of an
increase in residents participating in the service and
therefore diverting greenwaste from the general waste
bin to the greenwaste bin.

region

An infirm service is a free service offered to those in
the community who are unable to wheel their bin to the
collection point and have no-one else to do it for them.
Our contractor collects the bin from the property and
returns the empty bin to the property after the service.
