Brown garden waste bin
We provide brown bins for you to dispose of your garden waste, including grass cuttings, twigs and real Christmas trees.
You can check what you can put in your brown garden waste bin by looking at our list.
If you can't find the item you want to dispose of in this list, you can search by item instead.
Subscription service
We are replacing the current garden waste collection service with a new opt-in subscription service from 4 March 2025.
You can find full details on the scheme, including costs and how it will work, as well as why we are introducing it, via our garden waste collections page.
Collection
We collect the brown garden waste bins every two weeks. You can check your collection dates by entering your postcode or address.
We will not collect more than two brown bins from one property on collection day.
Replacement bin
You can order a new brown garden waste bin online if yours is missing or damaged.
