Agree a price for the prepared materials

A waste collection does not automatically include pruning, digging or dismantling a shed; request those tasks explicitly if needed.
Confirm which materials can share a collection before combining piles. Identify concrete posts, treated timber and shed roofing rather than including them in a general green-waste estimate. Update the provider if the work produces more material after the quote.
