Garden waste disposal west midlands

Posted by Gary Freeman on May 5, 2020 at 8:31pm

Hi, are there any fellow gardeners on here from the West Midlands? I was wondering where you go to dispose of your waste? I have been able to put any garden waste that customers have needed me to get rid of at the bottom of a friends garden who has 2 And half acres of land! But that isn't going to be possible going forward! Iv been looking online but nothing has come up. 

thanks Gary

    Nearest ones currently showing on the LJN map are in Telford and Daventry.

    Have you tried talking to local skip hire firms (who may run their own transfer stations) as to wheter they will accept it over their weighbridge on a tonnage basis - subject to you being an EA permit holder of course?

    Scrap that - your nearest composting site after 4 minutes on google seems to be:

    Mercia Waste Management
    The Marina, Kings Road, Evesham

    Try speaking to Severn Waste, it would mean taking it down to Hill and Moor at Pershore, if they are accepting new trade accounts.

    Hi Gary, we are in Stourbridge, so nearby.  I tend to use skips now as it's just easier.  But if you do find somewhere, let me know!  Regards, Darren

    Quite a few years ago when I was fitting kitchens around Bromsgrove and Birmingham I used to take waste to Wildmoor transfer station on the Bromsgrove to Stourbridge road.

    I don’t know what facilities there are now, but it could be worth an enquiry. It cost a bit more than the tip, but you didn’t wreck your van driving out over the tip with the dust carts and big tipper trucks as you just threw it out on a covered concrete yard and they scooped it up from there.

    The biggest issue was the time it took to get your van emptied out, go and load then unload the rubbish, before going back to put stuff into the van to take to the next job.

    Skips or a grab wagon save a hell of a lot of messing about.
