Garden Waste Collection Service

What does it cost?

You will need to hire a 240 litre green wheeled bin (which is equivalent to five or six standard rubbish sacks)for a one off cost of £27.50 and then pay an annual collection charge of a maximum of £35 to receive a fortnightly  garden waste collection service (excluding mid December - mid January) - this works out at around £1.46 per collection!

 

Once you have joined the scheme you only need to pay the collection charge each year.
