Gardens quickly become everyone’s favourite place to be when spring arrives, but we also soon start to notice all of the areas that have been unloved for the past six months. One weekend a simple tidy-up is sufficient and the next it’s a full clear-out with piles of branches, soil, old fencing and cuttings! At Morley Skips we know that this can build up faster than you can keep on top of and if you’ve ever stood back halfway through a project and wondered what to do with it all, you’re really not alone!
Dealing with a large amount of garden waste is one of the most common challenges for homeowners as the warm weather starts rolling in, especially when a job grows beyond what you can fit in a few bags or a car boot. The good news is: with the right approach it doesn’t need to become overwhelming.
Every day the Morley Skips team help customers across Essex and Suffolk to handle everything from small garden tidy-ups to full landscaping clearances. Over the years we’ve learnt a few things about garden waste, and before you dig out those gardening gloves and start hacking at last year’s hedge; here’s how to manage large volumes of garden waste efficiently and without unnecessary stress.
Garden waste has a way of creeping up on you and quickly gets to the point where a more practical solution is needed for:
Taking garden waste to a local tip might seem like the obvious solution, but it often comes with a couple of major issues. Firstly, for larger projects this quickly becomes time-consuming and instead of focusing on the work, you spend more time transporting waste than actually clearing it. You may also find that there’s imposed limitations, leading to:
For many projects, hiring a skip is the simplest and most effective way to deal with large amounts of garden waste. At Morley Skips we offer a range of skip sizes that are suitable for all garden projects; from small clear-outs to full landscaping jobs. Our friendly team have been through a garden clear-out or two so they can help you to choose the right size based on your project and how much waste you expect to produce. Once your skip is delivered, you can fill it as you go, keeping your garden clear and manageable throughout the project.
A skip can offer:
Garden waste doesn’t always sit in convenient places and we find it tends to be at the bottom of the garden, behind a shed or piled up in an awkward corner! Positioning your skip close to where the work is happening reduces effort and keeps things moving.
When planning your waste removal, it’s worth thinking about:
If your garden project is on the smaller side, or space is limited, a skip bag can be a great alternative. You can fill the bag(s) in your own time and arrange a collection when you’re ready.
Morley Skips’ skip bags:
They’re ideal for:
Large garden clearances can feel like a big task but breaking the work into stages can make it far more manageable. This keeps your project organised and also avoids the dreaded feeling of being overwhelmed by everything all at once!
A simple approach might be:
Once your skip or skip bag is collected, the job isn’t over, it’s just moved to the next stage. At Morley Skips all waste is taken to our waste transfer station where materials are separated, processed and reused wherever possible; helping to reduce landfill.
For garden waste this often means:
When dealing with large amounts of garden waste, a few simple mistakes can slow things down.
It’s really tempting to create one large pile and deal with it later, but this often makes the job harder; moving waste twice takes more time and effort than removing as-you-go.
Underestimating how much waste you have can lead to overfilling or needing additional collections. A quick conversation with our team about skip sizes can help you to get this right first time.
Where your skip or bag is placed matters and a poorly positioned container can add unnecessary work to the project.
There’s something incredibly satisfying about seeing a garden transform. As waste is removed, space opens up and the potential of the area becomes much clearer. Whether you’re preparing for landscaping, creating a new outdoor area or simply bringing your garden back under control after winter, removing waste is often the turning point in the project. It’s not just about getting rid of what’s there, it’s about making space for what comes next.
