Green garden waste wheelie bin collection service
Our green garden waste wheelie bin collection, exclusive to residents in the borough, is ideal if you are frequent gardener or if you are unable to home compost large amounts of garden waste yourself.
How much does it cost?
£70 for 12 months, which equates to just £1.35 a week. For this you will receive a large 240 litre wheelie bin to place your green garden waste in and a collection every two weeks.
Delivery times
If your order is to join the service, we will deliver your new green garden waste bin in approximately two weeks. You do not have to be in to receive the wheeled bin as we will leave it in a safe place on your property.
Access
Some property types may not be suitable for collections of green garden waste from a wheeled bin.
Containers should be visible and easily accessible to the crew on collection day and presented at the edge of your property. This may not be possible for all properties.
Our collection teams will not be able to move fully laden wheeled bins over gravel paths or over multiple steps, and subscriptions may be disallowed if clear access is not available.
Please see below for terms and conditions of service.

Where does the garden waste go?
We take your garden waste to a composting facility where it is treated and turned into compost, and then used on farms as a soil improver.
