Garden waste

Gardens produce all kinds of green waste: dead leaves, lawn and hedge trimmings, branches… Instead of putting them in the bin, you can re-use them directly in your garden with a composter, or as mulch.

To simplify the procedure, the Cannes Lérins Agglomeration offers a solution for shredding green waste right at home with the « Broyez du vert! » (green shredding) service. By keeping shredded garden waste at home, you avoid trips to the tip and reduce the quantity of waste to be treated. Shredded green waste can be used as natural mulch. Placed around the foot of your plants, it protects fragile soils, limits the proliferation of invasive plants and watering by reducing evaporation of water in the soil. Mixed with compost, it encourages a balance between wet and dry, and limits bad smells. Otherwise, you can also take it to the tip where it will be used to make compost on a wider scale.
