Garden waste recycling
Garden waste collections cost £30 per bin, per year and alternate with household rubbish collections.
Sign up for garden waste collection
To receive this fortnightly service, you need to sign up and pay. This can be done quickly and easily online with your credit or debit card. Alternatively, call 01993 861025.
Please note: We are unable to accept cheque or cash payments for garden waste licences.
You can pay at any point during the year but the £30 annual charge runs from 1 April - 31 March. Register early to take advantage of the maximum number of collections over the year.
If you require a garden waste bin please call us.
Please ensure that your wheelie bin lid shuts fully and it is put by the kerbside by 6am on your collection day. For legal and safety reasons, bins must be removed from public paths as soon as possible after collection.
Garden waste should be put in your bin. No plastic, paper or compostable bags.
