Refuse Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put garden waste into my bin?

The Council strongly discourages putting garden waste into the refuse bin, we would prefer households to home compost as much of their kitchen and garden waste as possible. Discounted compost bins are available for Borough residents at http://www.rbwm.getcomposting.com/ We also offer a subscribed fortnightly collection for garden waste, to subscribe follow this link http://www.rbwm.gov.uk/forms/AF3/an/default.aspx/RenderForm/?F.Name=XB5ZmetqPXr or alternatively contact the CCC on 01628 683801.
