Home Garden Waste Shredding

Instead of loading up your garden waste and taking it to a household waste site, you could save yourself time and trouble by using a garden shredder. See our Home Shredding page for some good advice on buying and using garden shredders

The Shredderman Service

If you live in Wychavon, Redditch or Worcester City, you can use the Shredderman service to have your twigs and branches shredded put into bags and left with you for use as top quality garden mulch. [Terms and Conditions]

What can I do with the Shreddings/Chippings?

• Mulch - The chippings make excellent mulch. Mulch is placed on the surface of damp, warm, weed free soil where it locks in moisture and suppresses weed growth by depriving them of light. This saves you money on weed killer as well as time and effort spent pulling them up!
• Compost - If your chippings are not too woody, put them in your compost bin. Make sure you mix them with scrunched up paper or cardboard to keep air in the mix. You might need to add some water too.
• Decoration - If your chippings are from woody trees and shrubs, you could use them as decorative cover as you would use chipped bark.
