Tackle winter waste challenges with easy green recycling
Winter might be a more challenging period for many landscapers and contractors, but it’s the perfect time to refine waste management practices. Managing green waste sustainably is not only better for the environment but also helps streamline your operations and cut costs.
At our Horticultural Hub in Leeds, we provide a comprehensive recycling facility designed to help the landscape, forestry, construction, and building sectors dispose of waste responsibly. In this blog, we’ll explore the importance of green waste recycling during winter, the types of waste we accept, and how our process works to turn debris into valuable resources like compost and biomass fuel.
Why recycle green waste in winter?
Clear away seasonal debris
Winter generates plenty of organic waste, from fallen leaves to pruned branches and grass trimmings. Recycling these materials keeps your workspaces tidy and ready for spring projects.Support sustainable practices
By recycling, you reduce landfill contributions and turn waste into renewable resources like compost, biomass fuel, and aggregates. It’s an eco-friendly way to handle winter clean-up.Plan for future use
Compost made from green waste can be repurposed in future landscaping projects, enriching soil health and saving costs on purchasing new materials.

Our advanced recycling process ensures that all waste is transformed into usable, sustainable products:
Biomass fuel production: Brash, logs, and wood chips are converted into renewable biomass fuel, supporting low-carbon energy solutions.
PAS100 certified compost: Compostable materials are processed into high-quality, certified compost, ideal for enriching soil in future projects.
