Salford Council says you can use your pink lidded bin, if you have one, for grass and hedge cuttings, leaves and small twigs. Larger branches should go to a recycling centre.
The tips
The council says larger branches should go to a recycling centre, and household waste from your own home is free there. See Salford tips. Soil counts towards the five-sack rubble limit and must be in robust sacks. A van needs a free van permit.
