How does the service work?

To use the garden waste service you can either use your green or brown-lidded bin. Garden waste collections take place the day after your green-lidded bin has been emptied (Please consult your calendar if your collections are effected by a Bank Holiday using 'When is my Collection' on the right).

If using your green-lidded bin for a garden waste collection please ensure that:

Your garden waste is placed loose in the bin and not in bags.
You put out your green and/or brown-lidded bins for collection by 7am the following day.
We will empty one green-lidded bin and up to four brown-lidded bins per property.
Once your green-lidded bin has been emptied of garden waste, please ensure that it is clean before you continue to use it for your dry recyclables.
