Weeds

A weed is any plant that colonises and persists in an area or ecosystem where it did not previously exist.    They are usually large seed producers, are excellent at surviving and reproducing and thrive in a variety of conditions.

 

Disposal Options

  • Weeds, Lawn Clippings, Prunings, Small Sticks, Twigs, Flowers and Leaves - FOGO Bin

Why

Weeds and other plant material can be recycled because they are nutrient-rich organic matter that when composted or used as mulch return valuable nutrients to the soil.  Recycling them reduces landfill waste.

 

Did You Know

Weeds are ancient survivalists and can remain dormant in the soil for decades waiting for the right moment to grow.
