Garden waste collections

Garden waste collections will be suspended after Thursday 30th November for the winter period. Don't forget to put your green lidded garden waste bin out on your collection day over the next couple of weeks.      Collections will recommence on 1st March 2018.  Keep an eye out for next year's collection calendar through December to see when your first garden waste collection of 2018 will be.   To check your bin collection day have a look at our online bin collection day finder

Household Waste Recycling Centre

Any garden waste you have over winter can be taken to the Household Waste Recycling centre on Barkers Lane. The site is open daily from 9am to 5pm, please note the last entrance to the site is 4.50pm to allow residents to dispose of their waste and leave the site before it is secured overnight. 

Home Composting

If you have lots of garden waste why not give home composting a go? The Council offers home composting bins for residents at subsidised prices, and there is lots of useful information about how to get started online. Visit our home composting webpage for more information.
