Garden waste
Garden waste collection service
We provide garden waste subscribers with a large 240l brown wheeled bin. This allows them to easily dispose of any grass cuttings, branches, or other garden debris. Our fortnightly collections are available for a yearly fee, with a direct debit option and discount for those on council tax support.
Garden waste collection points
Our collection points offer a handy alternative to those who generate large amounts of household garden waste, but do not wish to commit to the subscription service. It’s also a more convenient option for those who live further away from the main recycling centre.
