Garden waste service

We provide a garden waste service with a fortnightly collection from a wheeled bin, for items such as grass cuttings, leaves, branches, weeds and hedge clippings.

Cost

The cost is £30 a year for the service (£28.50 if paid by direct debit).

Bin sizes

There are two sizes of wheeled bin available:

• 240 litre
• 140 litre (recommended for people who do not create much garden waste)

How to

• order a wheeled bin
• renew your garden waste service
• find your garden waste collection day
• find out what happens to your garden waste

When will you get your bin?

We aim to deliver your wheeled bin within 28 working days.

For further information, view or download the garden waste information pack from the menu on the right.

Alternative service

In exceptional circumstances we may be able to offer garden sacks to residents that don't have room for a wheeled bin and meet specific criteria.

For further information contact Environmental Services on 01491 823416.

Are there alternatives to the wheeled bins?

Other ways you can dispose of your garden waste include:
