Garden waste

Page updated on: 28/01/2025

There are changes from 2025.

Garden waste collections are between March – November. We recommend all customers read our updated terms and conditions of the service.

Once collections have started for the garden waste service, there will be no refund if you leave part way through the season for any reason.

You will need to subscribe annually January-February

Additional bins are available. The service charge for each additional bin will be reduced by 10%

New customers

When you first subscribe, we will deliver a 240 litre wheelie bin to your home. Your collections will be fortnightly between March and November. Your garden waste will then be recycled and turned into compost.

The service costs £58.83 for the 2025 season. However, if you pay in full by credit or debit card you will receive a 10% discount, total service cost of only £53. There is also an additional one-off charge of £19 for the purchase of the bin. 

Total cost if paying in full for the first year £72

If you wish to pay by direct debit the total cost of the service and purchase of bin will be £77.83 with the £19 bin charge being taken initially and separate to the service charge.

Please note only bins issued by the council for the purpose of this collection will be emptied. 

Please have your credit/debit card to hand when you subscribe.

Changes for existing customers 2025

We are no longer issuing an annual invoice, and you need to subscribe annually each year in January-February, before collections start in March. If you do not subscribe before collections start, your bin will not be emptied until payment is received. 

The service costs £58.83 for the 2025 season. However, if you pay in full by credit or debit card you will receive a 10% discount, total service cost of only £53. 

If you choose not to continue your service, please contact us if you want the bin removed, otherwise it will be left with you. You may reuse your bin as storage for other waste, but please do not place out for collection.
