Having a garden clear out?

If you have extra garden waste or are having a clear out of your garage or shed, don’t forget you can take your items to the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Barkers Lane. 

 

The site is open on an appointment basis. To find out more about visiting the site safely and how to book an appointment, please visit the Household Waste Recycling Centre page on our website.

 


Give Home Composting a go!

If you find your garden waste bin is always full why not try composting at home? It's an easy way to reduce the amount of waste thrown into both your rubbish and garden waste bins and at the same time creating a great compost for your garden.

To help get you started the Council offers compost bins at subsidised prices, for more information please visit the reduce, reuse and recycle page on our website.
