Green garden waste subscription

Avoid the time, cost and hassle of putting garden waste in your car and taking it to the recycling site and sign up to our green waste service.

Our garden waste collection service is an opt-in subscription service. A one-year subscription is currently £88.  

You will get:

A green wheelie bin, if required and a fortnightly garden waste collection*.

The subscription service is open to all households with a garden, including maisonettes and flats with private gardens. Your subscription will run for one year from the date of your first collection, with collections made fortnightly, with changes during bank holiday periods.

Additional bin

If you would like more than one bin, an additional bin will cost £88 for the year, or £44 if requested within six months of your renewal date.

* Joining the service does not guarantee you to a set number of collections or volume of waste. We aim to collect garden waste fortnightly all year round where possible, except for two to three weeks over the Christmas and New Year period. See terms and conditions for full details.

Items we will collect

Items accepted through our garden waste subscription.

We will collect:

  • All weeds except for Japanese Knotweed.
  • Christmas trees (must be cut up and placed inside your garden waste bin during January for collection- trees left next to the bin will not be collected).
  • Fallen fruit (in small amounts).
  • Flowers.
  • Grass cuttings.
  • Hedge trimmings.
  • Leaves.
  • Plants.
  • Small branches, no thicker than 2 inches in diameter, and cut into lengths that can be contained within your wheelie bin with the lid closed.
  • Twigs .

Please note: Large amounts of soil, mud or dirt cannot be collected. Small remnants attached to roots are expected, but bins containing loose or significant quantities of soil may not be emptied.

Bags for soil, compost and other gardening material, and plant pots, tubs and trays should be placed into your black refuse bin.
