Brown-lidded Garden Bin
Garden Waste Subscription 2024/25
The current garden waste subscription period covers from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
NEW Garden Waste Subscription 2025/26
The new garden waste subscription covers from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Payments for the next subscription have now gone live.
You will not receive your garden waste sticker until the end of March.
If you subscribe after Friday 14 March 2025, the Council cannot guarantee your first collection at the start of the new season.
How much does it cost?
The cost of subscribing to this service from 1 April 2025 is:
- 1 new bin - £45.00
- Any additional bins are £26.00 each
We understand that the cost has increased and that this is not ideal. However, the costs associated with garden waste collections has also risen, so in order to maintain the service the subscription price has had to increase. At just £1.96 per collection, subscribing to the garden waste service still represents good value for money and makes it easier for you to recycle your garden waste.
The easiest and quickest way to subscribe is online, using our Garden Waste Subscription form (Opens in a New Window). (This function will not be available until Friday 14 February 2025).
What does the subscription include?
- Collections are all year round – every two weeks from April to the end of November and in March, then every four weeks in December, January and February when there is less garden waste to dispose of.
- A hassle-free solution in comparison to taking your garden waste to the Local Household Waste and Recycling Site
- A sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to garden waste disposal.

Sharing your bin with neighbours
We accept no responsibility for personal agreements made between neighbours.
We will need the address of one of the properties to log on our system when payment is made. That same address will be on the sticker to be attached to the bin and the bin must be placed outside the property which has subscribed to the service.
