Our waste management services are fully accredited. We offer expert advice and assistance to garden centres throughout the UK.
Garden Centres are recently more under the spotlight when it comes to waste management, especially when it comes to plastics. If you want to adopt more sustainable practices at your garden centre, boosting your waste management and recycling is a great first step. GWR Waste Management offer a range of waste services to garden centres, including bespoke zero waste to landfill packages. With our expert team on your side, it’s easier than ever to be green. We’ll formulate a custom solution for your company that suits your budget, timescale and waste output.
The specific waste output of a garden centre is largely dependent on size, product type and location. Typically, however, garden centres produce large volumes of mixed recyclable waste as a result of packaging. Plastic pots are a particular issue due to how difficult they are to recycle. You also have wood from pallets, scrap metal, food waste from your cafe and lots of cardboard.
Garden Centre waste refers to any commercial waste produced by businesses in the horticultural industry – from independent garden centres in the local village to multi region large garden centres. It can include any materials produced during or as a result of the business’ activities. With many consumers increasingly choosing businesses to support based on ethical and environmental criteria, ensuring your waste management is up to scratch is vital for harnessing that competitive edge. In a crowded industry, it can be difficult to stand out.
The bins required by garden centres vary widely. GWR Waste Management offers a range of wheelie bin options, allowing us to create solutions perfectly suited to a range of businesses. Our bins are available in multiple different sizes depending on your waste volume and collection frequency. If you need further guidance on what bin is right for your business, don’t hesitate to

There are a variety of different types of agricultural waste, all with different methods of disposal. For example, manure, oil, silage plastics, fertiliser, pesticides and herbicides; wastes from farms, poultry houses and slaughterhouses; veterinary medicines, or horticultural plastics.
If agricultural waste is not disposed of properly, the results can be devastating!
Anything non-recyclable such as single-use plastic goes into general waste. We divert 100% of waste from landfill and turn it into green electricity.
Product packaging makes up a large proportion of waste produced by garden centres, especially plastic pots and potting trays. We can collect & recycle, effectively.
Comprehensive washroom and sanitary waste and maintenance services means garden centres can provide an impeccable standard to their customers.
Any wood waste from packaging is broken down and taken to a specialist centre where it can be repurposed.
