Or are they supposed to stuff it into my green wheelie bin ??

That depends on whether they priced for removal of said waste, if they

told
you verbally or in writing that they would not be taking it away then it's
your responsibility.

I am being told that they cannot take it away as they are not
registered carriers of waste, and they are charged to dump commerical
waste (even thou its domestic).


Yes, they are charged for dumping it, although this should have been added
to the price of the work....if you bag it up and take it in the car, you
will not be charged


What am I too do.


Have you tried getting a grip? - it's garden prunings not nuclear waste.


The last thing you want is for it to go! get them to shred it and leave it
on site, you could even say you would take any other shreddings they may
have from other customers, get it composted if you don't want it straight on
the ground. be a huge asset to your garden and cut down on the number of
times you need the gardeners
Doing the shredding will not be a problem as you are already paying for
their time :~) If it is a problem they are not professional gardeners.
