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.
