Photograph the material before moving it
Take a wide picture to show the overall amount, then closer views of mixed items. If sacks conceal their contents, explain what is inside rather than opening anything sharp or unsafe for a photograph. Approximate dimensions help where the pile looks smaller from one angle.
Please identify soil, rubble, broken glass or unknown containers rather than grouping everything under garden waste. Mixed material can need different handling, and some items require a separate assessment. Leave anything you suspect is hazardous undisturbed and tell us about it.
Compost or bonfire remains should be shown clearly. We consider non-hazardous material within the agreed scope. If the problem also involves pests, the service is clearing material, rather than pest control.
