Garden waste
We also provide a garden waste service to local homes.
The service is optional and costs £41 a year (per bin) for fortnightly collections (maximum of 23 garden waste collections), apart from over the Christmas period and into the New Year,
The service runs from January to December and costs £41 per calendar year, regardless of when you sign up. If you are signed up, we will empty your brown bin every two weeks (on alternate weeks to your non recyclable waste).
What to put in your garden waste bin
Leaves, weeds, tree and shrub prunings, grass and hedge cuttings, short branches and twigs, garden plants and unwanted windfall fruit/home-grown vegetables that have not been into the house/used in food preparation.
Please do not put the following waste in your brown bin
Food waste (including vegetable peelings), plastic bags or biodegradable liners, cardboard, paper, plant pots, pet waste, soil or turf, or large pieces of wood or branches as these are not easily compostable.
