Garden (green waste) recycling service

We operate a garden waste recycling service. Garden waste bins are provided with a brown lid and a black or brown bin base. There are two sizes: 240 litres (standard size) and 140 litres. The garden waste we collect is taken to local farms for composting.

A full subscription year includes 25 collections. There's one collection every two weeks (except the two weeks of Christmas and New Year).
