Find out everything you need to know about our garden waste collection service
You can sign up to have your garden waste collected from your home every two weeks.
The benefits of this are:
We will give you a 240 litre brown bin for your garden waste. If you have a lot of garden waste, you can subscribe for up to three brown bins. There is a fee for each bin you have.
To use this service you must have room to store your brown bin. You cannot keep it on a public footpath or road.
Collections will be on the same day of the week as your current recycling and waste. We usually collect garden waste on the alternate week to general waste.

If we can't collect your garden waste on the normal day we will try and collect it within 48 hours.
