Garden Waste Collection Service    

This convenient collection service will help you compost your garden waste

Home composting is the best way to deal with your garden waste but when the growing season really gets going you might need a little extra help.

The garden waste collection service:

• convenient and easy to use
• saves time and effort (packing up the car and driving to a Household Recycling Centre)
• does the composting on your behalf

Subscribing to the garden waste collection service means that you can put all your compostable garden waste in a special 240 litre brown wheelie bin, including lawn cuttings, hedge clippings, leaves, dead flowers, old plants and as many weeds as you can dig up!

Every fortnight we will collect the compostable waste from you, leaving your garden looking as lovely as you intended it to be.

The 2012/13 collection service starts on Monday 27^th February 2012, however you can sign up to the service at any point in the year and pay a reduced rate depending on the number of collections that are left in the year (minimum fee of £30 to cover equipment and administration).

You can sign up to the service by calling 01684 862151, please have your debit or credit card ready to make payment over the phone.

We believe this service offers excellent value for money and although other Local Authorities offer a similar service for a lower cost we feel that it is not fair to subsidise the costs of this service with council tax monies. Many of our residents will not be able to take advantage of this service as they do not have a big garden or produce any garden waste at all. It would not be right to take money away from other services that everyone benefits from (such as Street Cleansing) in order to fund a service which can only benefit a select few. So, in short, the reason the service costs £60 per year is because this is what it costs to operate the service, the full cost of this service is paid for by those who use it and you can't get fairer than that.   

Please note: Payments must be made upfront and in full, one off collections are not available.
