- Keep it clean: soil, flax, bamboo, treated timber and plastic pots are usually excluded or surcharged.
- Large branches and stumps often need a separate hardfill or tree-services quote.
- A regular green bin can be cheaper than several one-off loads if you garden year-round.
- Some services sell the finished compost or mulch back — handy if you are landscaping.
