Grounds maintenance company pays to dispose of green waste. Any suggestions as to how best categorise the expense? Doesn't seem like a cost of sales as nothing is being produced, nor a sundry expense as total annual payment is about £ 1,000 a year.

Cost of sale
You say nothing is being produced. It sounds like the waste is being produced as a result of the grounds maintenance activity. No grounds maintenance activity, no waste to dispose of.
As a general rule, if a cost solely arises as a direct result of sales activity, it's a cost of sale.
