If you sign up to have your garden waste collected we will give you an extra bin with a brown or black lid. You can put the following in it:
You should not put the following items in your garden waste bin:
Food waste can be composted or put in your general waste bin (with the red lid).
If you need a compost bin or kitchen caddy you can get one from Get Composting at a discounted price.
If you do put any of the prohibited items listed in your garden waste bin, we won't be able to empty it for you. We do make regular checks on what has been placed in garden waste bins placed out to be emptied.
Other items, or where you have a lot of waste from a garden clearance, can be taken to the recycling centre (tip). For information on local recycling centres (tips) take a look at the county council website.
If you need a new bin because it is damaged or broken please contact us:
We collect garden waste between March and December each year from those who are signed up to the scheme. There will be at least 20 collections during this time, made fortnightly.
If you’ve signed up you can check the bin calendar to check when your next collection is due. You can sign up any time during the season but the cost will remain the same.
The cost is £28 for at least 20 collections made fortnightly between March and December. If you need more than one garden waste bin you can add extra bins at £14 each a year.
You will need to pay annually for each season (March to December collections) and can pay for the current season with a debit or credit card through our online payment system:

We’ll remove your brown - or black-lid bin after you cancel the collection with us. We don’t give refunds even where you cancel part-way through the season.
