Costs, discounts and what is included
The annual fee for garden waste collections is £62 for the first bin, £32 for a second bin, and £62 for any additional bins after that, up to a maximum of six bins.
If you need more than one bin, we can provide extra wheelie bins as part of your subscription cost. You will need to request this by contacting us online or calling us on 01245 615800.
Your subscription will run for a fixed period, from 1 March to 28 February the following year. You must pay the full annual fee, even if your subscription starts part-way through the year. We will not be able to transfer your subscription or offer a refund if you move.
Discounts
If you receive Council Tax benefit, you can have one bin for the discounted fee of £46.50. If you want a second bin, that will cost £32. If you want more than two bins, you will need to pay the normal fee of £62 per additional bin.
This reduced rate does not apply if you receive single person discount.
We will check you are eligible as part of your online application.
What is included in your subscription
Our garden waste service will run throughout the year. We aim for 26 collections per year, but guarantee a minimum of 20, to allow for adverse weather or other events out of our control.
You can have a maximum of six brown wheeled bins, which we will provide. All bins must have a capacity of 240 litres and may be new or refurbished.
You must make sure the lid is closed, and we will not take any side garden waste that is not in the bin.
Your subscription will run for a fixed period, from 1 March to 28 February the following year, regardless of when you start your subscription.
