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.

The Benefits of the Garden Waste Service

The Service

Collections for garden waste run fortnightly from March through to the end of November and then monthly during the months of December, January and February. Collections take place on the same day as your green-lidded bin. All bins should be out by 6.30am, with their bins lids closed. No side waste will be taken.
