Garden waste collections

With winter approaching, garden waste collections will soon be ending for the season with the last green bin collection on Friday 29th November 2019. Don’t forget to put your green bin out on your collection day over the next couple of weeks. You can check your bin collection day and when your last green bin collection will be online at www.bedford.gov.uk/bins.

Garden waste collections will be starting up again on 1st March 2020.

Keep an eye out for next year’s bin collection calendar which will be available towards the end of November, to see the changes to your collections over Christmas and when your first garden waste collection of the spring will be.

Why not try composting at home?

During the winter while garden waste collections are suspended, why not try composting at home? It's easy to make with cuttings from the garden and uncooked food waste, providing a rich compost for you to use around the garden.

For more information about home composting and compost bins available at subsidised prices please visit our webpages.

Garden waste can also be taken to the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Barkers Lane for composting throughout the year.
