You can now sign up to or renew your subscription for the South Hams' garden waste collection service.
Anyone living in the district can now sign up for a garden waste subscription for 2025/26.
If you sign up before 31 March 2025, you’ll pay a lower 'early bird' fee of £65 for a year-long subscription running from 1 April 2025 that covers collections for one brown wheelie bin. If you sign up after 31 March, the service will cost £68.
There is a maximum of two subscriptions (which will cover two bins) per household. Subscribers can put grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, cut flowers and plants, small branches, weeds, leaves, twigs, windfall fruit and vase flowers in their brown bin.
The quickest and easiest way to sign up is on our website: www.southhams.gov.uk/gardenwaste - the website is also full of information on the service
From Monday 3 March, we are carrying out concrete repair works to Totnes Market Square steps.
This will help strengthen the structure of the steps and will be carried out on weekdays only to help reduce noise disturbance.
The work is expected to take three weeks to complete and during this time, there will be no access to the steps.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.
You need to show photo identification (ID) to vote at a polling station in the Devon County Council elections on 1 May 2025.

- Certain concessionary travel cards
- Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
