Our plan to clear your garden waste

Watch: Our plan to clear your garden waste

We are pleased to confirm that we will collect your garden waste between 18th October and the 30th of October. To facilitate this, food waste will not be collected, during this two-week window. 

This collection is to help clear the waste in resident’s garden bins, caused by the national driver shortages.  

  • during this two-week window, place your garden waste bins or two council issued bags at the kerbside instead of your food waste bins.  
  • do this from 7am on the days you normally have your recycling collected 
  • from Monday 27th September, you will also no longer need to book a slot at your local Household Waste Recycling Centres (tidy tips).

Composting

Home composting is a good way to dispose of and reuse your garden waste. It's also a great way to help the environment and it can save you trips to the tip.

You can also buy a subsidised 220-litre compost bin through us and get it delivered to your home for as little as £16.50 (plus £5.99 delivery).
