Garden Waste Collections 2017/18 

You can now subscribe to the 2017/18 service.

Changes for the period 3rd April 2017 - 1st April 2018 (inclusive):

• £31 for 1 brown-lidded bin

• £12 for each additional bin

Changes to the service for 2017/18

Collections are fortnightly between March and November. Collections take place on the same day as your green-lidded recycling bin. Collections between December and February will now be on a monthly basis. Customers will receive a calendar detailing their winter monthly collections in November 2017.

Why has the service changed?

The cost of the service has not changed over the last 3 years. Unfortunately the annual subscription fee has had to increase by £1 due to the rising costs associated with providing the collection service.

In order to reduce collection costs and to keep any price increase to an absolute minimum, we have changed collections to monthly during the months of December, January and February inclusive. Historically this is when the amount of garden waste collected reduces by more than half. Therefore residents should still be able to put all their garden waste in he brown-lidded bin and not be affected by a monthly collection frequency.

How to Join

I don't have a lot of garden waste. Can I share a garden waste bin with one of my neighbours?

Yes, you can share your garden waste bin, however we accept no responsibility for personal agreements made between neighbours. We will need the address of one of the properties to log on our system when payment is made. That same address will be on the sticker to be attached to the bin and the bin must be placed outside the property which has subscribed to the service.

Important garden waste information!

Please remember that your garden waste will be collected on the same day as your green-lidded recycling bin.

If it is not emptied use the 'Missed bin collection' page to find ways to report a missed bin.
