Home composting and alternatives
If you choose not to subscribe to the scheme, you can dispose of your garden waste by:
You should not put garden waste in your black household waste bin or silver recycling bin. We will not empty black or silver bins which contain garden waste.
Food waste
We encourage you to reduce, reuse and recycle your food waste as much as possible so that less waste needs to be disposed of, and this includes trying home composting.
If home composting isn’t possible, you can put food waste into your black bin – we hope that this will be a temporary measure.
We are awaiting the outcome of central government proposals which may mean that all councils need to provide a separate food waste collection service to all properties.
Christmas Tree Recycling
Following on from the popularity in previous years of this eco-friendly fundraising scheme in aid of local Scouts, we will again be recycling used natural Christmas trees. On Saturday 4 January 2025, the 1 SWC St Andrews Scouts will be collecting trees for recycling from addresses in:
- Gresty
- Hough
- Shavington
- Weston
- Willaston
- Wistaston
- Wybunbury
- and all CW2 postcodes in Crewe
We can collect your tree for a minimum donation of £6 going towards local Scout funds. If you would like us to collect and recycle your Christmas tree, then please book your collection online by visiting recyclemyxmastree.com.
For any other enquiries, contact Alison Corless on: recyclemyxmastree@gmail.com or call/ text 07786 914353.
