Unacceptable items:
Pallets or timber or artificial (astro) turf. Commercial or truck loads of materials, waste or hard rubbish, or proclaimed weeds including Rose, Poplar, Blackberry, Gorse, Olive, Bridal creeper, Kikuyu, Couch, and Bamboo. These can be disposed of at the Brinkley site for a fee or your kerbside green organics bin (if provided). The material in the kerbside green bin waste is composted whereas material collected during free clean green waste drop off days is handled differently (mulched).
