¿Es broza "brushwood"? ¿Valdría "brushwood container"?

No obtengo resultados en Google para ninguna de las colocaciones q se me ocurren...

garden waste bins/containers
Explanation:
Given that broza, according to the DRAE is "conjunto de hojas, ramas, cortezas y otros despojos de las plantas", and this context is not forestry management, I would suggest something like garden waste bins/containers (I prefer bins, but you probably don't say that in the US??)

Where my mother lives in the UK, they come round either once a week or fortnight (can't remember exactly) to pick up the garden waste.

Have just phoned my mother, becuase I knew I\'d not got it quite right. The correct term is green waste, not garden waste:

agree  Paul Mably (X): I think this term may be more appropriate, since there is no reference to the processing of the waste, as would be the case for composting

  -> Couldn't find any info on this in Spanish, but I agree with you. No processing seems to be involved.

Compost bin


Explanation:
My dictionary definition of 'broza' is dead leaves, brushwood, rubbish so 'compost bin' is an other option. We use them to dispose of all degradable products: rotting leaves, vegetable peelings,etc. which produces compost that can then be used in the garden as a fertiliser. Many local councils in England provide these free or subsidise them as an incentive for people to recycle biodegradable rubbish.

be assured you will receive a free home compost bin in the near future. ...
