Garden Waste Removal & Digital Tracking

To give my clients absolute peace of mind, my business is fully integrated with the UK government’s new Digital Waste Tracking system. When I clear your garden, you never have to worry about where your waste ends up.

Why Digital Tracking Matters to You

By law, homeowners have a strict "Duty of Care" to ensure any waste taken from their property is handed to a licensed professional. If a rogue gardener fly-tips your green waste, you as the homeowner can face a substantial fine.

How My Waste Service Works

I offer clear, tiered waste removal options depending on the size of your project. Waste removal costs are always discussed and outlined before any work begins—no hidden fees.

1. Routine Maintenance (Small Volumes) For regular clients, the removal of small volumes of green waste (weeds, hedge trimmings, light prunings) is built directly into my standard service. I carefully segregate this waste as I work, keeping pure green waste separate from soil or stones, and take it away when I leave.

2. Large Garden Clearances & Tree Work Taking on a garden jungle or planning a major cutback? For major clearances, I provide a clear, itemised quote for waste removal. Depending on the volume, my services include:

  • Bulk Bag Service: I utilise large, reusable bags to keep waste contained, tidy, and easily transportable from your garden.

  • Specialised Collections: For truly substantial clearances, I can arrange dedicated larger green waste collections tailored to the exact volume of your project.

3. On-Site Composting (The Greenest Option) Whenever possible, and with your permission, I prefer to keep organic matter in your garden. If you have the space, I can help you set up or maintain a compost heap, turning grass clippings and soft trimmings into free, nutrient-rich soil improver for your borders.

The On-Site Process: What to Expect

When you hire me for a clearance or maintenance job that includes waste removal, here is how the digital handover works right in your garden:

  1. Clear & Load: I complete the gardening work and load the segregated green waste into my vehicle or bulk bags.

  2. Digital Logging: Before I drive away, I generate a digital Waste Transfer Note using my specialised tracking software. This officially logs the transfer of the waste's legal responsibility to my business (Kevin Ian Hare Limited).

  3. Instant Tracking: The software instantly registers the transfer with DEFRA. You have complete assurance that your waste is legally accounted for from your garden all the way to the composting facility.

I am dedicated to leaving your garden immaculate while caring for our shared environment. With Totnes Gardening, your garden waste is handled legally, tracked digitally, and managed responsibly.
