Garden waste collections

Garden waste collections continue to be completed on a monthly basis. Black and orange bins will be collected as normal, but green bins may not be collected on the normal bin day. Residents must check when their next garden waste collection will be by using our online collection day finder.

 

If you have extra garden waste at this time we ask that you continue to compost or store extra garden waste at home. We have lots of information about home composting on our website, including how you can get started and order a home compost bin at a subsidised price.

 


Crush, squish and squash your recycling

The more space you can save in your recycling bin, the more you can fit in! So please crush, squish, stomp on, tear up and make smaller anything you can to make more room, and put items into the recycling bin loose.

 

If you still have extra recycling once you've squashed as much into your bin as you can, you can put it in a clear see-through sack or cardboard box (so it doesn't blow away), leave it next to the bin and we'll pick it up on your recycling collection day.

 

To seek further assistance with your recycling during these changes to services or to request orange sacks, residents can contact recycling@bedford.gov.uk  or 01234 718060.
