Cost

Our Garden Waste Subscription Service costs £25 per year, per bin. The year runs from 1 April to 31 March.

A brown bin is included for free if you do not already have one at your address.

How to subscribe to Garden Waste Service

You will need to sign up to subscription year 2023-2024 to use this service. 

If you pay by Direct Debit, you will not need to do anything. Your payment will be debited on 1 February 2023.  

Once you have successfully subscribed, you will receive a sticker in the post. The sticker must be displayed on the back of the bin, under the handle. Your bin will not be collected unless it has the sticker displayed.

It can take up to 12 working days for your bin sticker to arrive. If you have not received your sticker after 12 working days, you can contact the Gateway Team on 01772 625 625. 

Stickers not received within 28 days weeks can be replaced free of charge if reported within the time frame, missing stickers reports after 28 days will incur an administration cost of £2.95.

If you do not wish to re-subscribe to the Garden Waste Service you will no longer get a brown bin collection when the year is over (31 March 2024). You can either compost the garden waste at home or dispose of it at your local Household Waste Recycling Centre for free.
