Leaf it to us, have you subscribed to our garden waste recycling service?

Will you join the 60,000 subscribers to our garden waste recycling collection service?

Getting garden waste collected provides convenience for our green-fingered residents, saving them from traveling to a recycling site.

All garden waste stays in Somerset (whether collected at the kerbside or taken to the recycling site), going to one of several composting sites, including Dimmer and Walpole, where it is shredded, and turned into compost. The end-product is sold as revive soil conditioner through all recycling sites.

If you already subscribe to the service, you’ll be sent an email reminder at least a month before your subscription ends. For example, a July mailing for those expiring in August. But there’s no need to wait to hear from us, subscriptions can be renewed at any point (with no change to expiry date). You can check when your subscription is due for renewal via our Garden waste collections webpage.

Last year more than 41,000 tonnes of garden waste was collected from the kerbside or received at our recycling sites. Recycling garden waste is great for the environment, it’s returned to our gardens to fill them with nutrients as soil improver.
