Sign up for garden waste collections
If you would like your garden waste collected regularly, you can sign up for our paid garden waste collection service.
Garden waste subscription service details
It costs £50 to sign up to a seasonal subscription to our garden waste collection service. Concessions are not available.
Collections are every two weeks and are collected on the same day and week as your black bin rubbish collection.
The 2026 collection season
Subscriptions for the 2026 collection season:
- begin on 3 February 2026
- end on 4 December 2026
Subscriptions do not automatically renew each year. You can sign up at any time during the subscription year but there are no reductions in payment.
Your subscription would not entitle you to a new bin. If you do not currently have a brown bin you will need to pay an additional £24.50 fee for each bin you need to use with your subscription(s).
If you would like more than one subscription
The subscription fee is for one bin but if you wish you can subscribe to have more bins. The subscription cost of £50 applies to each bin that you would like us to collect.
In addition there is £24.50 fee for each additional bin needed to use with extra subscriptions.
Renewals
If you choose not to sign up again, your garden waste collections would stop at the end of the subscription period. Subscriptions are not automatically renewed.
Assisted brown bin collections
Your assisted collection for your garden waste bin continues if you signed up to the service. If you do not currently have an assisted collection but need one then you will need to apply.

Opting out of garden waste subscriptions
This is an opt-in service, so you only pay if you wish to use it. If you do not wish to subscribe, you can take your garden waste to your local tip.
If you no longer require your garden waste bin we will remove it for you.
If you do not intend to join the scheme, you can keep and reuse your bin by:
- using it as storage for tools and pots in the garden
- convert it into a water butt or compost bin
A converted bin will not be suitable for use as a garden waste bin.
