Terms & Conditions:
The green lidded wheeled bins remain the
property of Thanet District Council and will be reclaimed if you no
longer pay for the green garden waste collection service.
Not all properties are suitable for this
service either due to access restrictions for our collection
freighters or lack of space to store the bin or to put them out in
front of property for collection, etc.
We reserve the right to assess the application
and to determine whether or not your property is suitable for the
wheeled bin green waste collection scheme.
You are responsible for the security of the
wheeled bin as we will not replace lost, stolen or damaged bins.
Should the refuse crew be responsible for damaging your
bin or if it falls into the rear of the refuse vehicle we will
repair it or replace it free of charge.
We will not empty the bin if it is moved to
another property (unless you advise us that you have moved to a
different address within the District).
Only put the following into the green lidded bins:
• Garden weeds
• Hedge trimmings
• Small twigs and branches less than 2.5cm
(1”) diameter
• Grass cuttings
• Flowers and plants
• Leaves
Your bin will be emptied every
fortnight. This means your green garden waste will be
collected every two weeks throughout the year, except for
four weeks from mid December to mid January.
Important:
Any bin contaminated with material other than
green garden waste will not be emptied and any bins which are too
heavy for safe handling will also not be emptied.
