When you subscribe to the service you will receive a 240 litre wheeled bin and a welcome pack explaining how the service works and your collection dates for the year. You may purchase more than one bin (prices detailed below). Your garden waste will be collected on a fortnightly basis, with the exception of the Christmas/New Year period. Simply put your garden waste in your bin and leave it by the kerbside by 6.30am every fortnight, on your specified collection day. We cannot pick up bagged waste or side waste within this scheme and the bin lid must close. If you move house within the Borough, please take your green wheeled bin with you and let us know your new address so we can continue collections from your new home. For new subscribers to the Garden Waste Service: Please allow 20 working days for your bin(s) to be delivered. Sign up to weekly emailed collection reminders or access your collection dates. Residents offline can call our Customer Service Centre. Collection day - Your bin must be left at the kerbside/highway boundary by 6.30am on the day of your collection, and be visible for our collection crews. Your collection time may vary on the day of collection.
