Garden waste collection service
Sign Up
We offer a fortnightly garden waste collection service. The cost for the year 2025-26 is £65 for a big brown bin (240 litres) and £49 for a smaller brown bin (180 litres). You can pay for as many bins as you want.
No refunds are given if the service is cancelled partway through the year.
What happens next?
After you sign up, you will get a brown bin. This will be delivered about a week before your first collection. If you have not received it by that time please contact us as no refunds will be given if you do not let us know.
Your first collection will be three to five weeks after you sign up. Collection days will change if there is a bank holiday. There are no collections over the two-week Christmas and New Year period.
The service may be stopped during severe weather. No refunds are given in these cases.
