Garden waste

We will provide one garden waste bin per household which will be emptied free of charge.

If you wish to have additional garden waste bins, you will be charged £25 per bin per year. For further details or to arrange a payment please phone the Waste Hotline.

Please note as of the 1 June 2012, cardboard will not be accepted in the garden waste bin. This will reduce the risk of contamination and improve the compost produced.

Three easy steps to collection:

Sort it, Fill it , Put it out

• Please put your garden waste bin out by 7am on collection day
• Collections will continue on a fortnightly basis until November. Please check your waste calendar for your monthly collection dates during the winter months or phone the Waste Hotline
