Garden waste


We offer a paid-for garden waste collection service. Garden waste bins are emptied between April and March with a break during the winter.

More than 26,000 households in North East Lincolnshire are recycling their garden waste. We recycled more than 7,760 tonnes of garden waste in 2024. It is recycled locally and made into compost.
