Subscription and charge

• The cost to subscribe to the garden waste collection service is £30 per bin
• Payment can be made online using a debit/credit card. If you do not have a debit/credit card and wish to make a cash payment please contact Customer Services to book an appointment to do so. Please note we no longer accept cheque payments
• The new garden waste subscription service is effective from 1 April 2020
• To avoid any missed green bin collections you must subscribe by 15 March 2020
• The annual charge is based on 25 collections which equates to just £1.20 per collection, the service is suspended for two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period
• If you choose to subscribe to the service at any other time through the year the annual charge will remain the same
• If subscribing after 15 March 2020 please allow 2 working days from subscription date before your first green waste collection
• If you only produce small amounts of garden waste, you may wish to consider sharing a green bin with a neighbour as this would halve the cost. However, one of you must take responsibility to subscribe to the service

Once subscribed

• You will receive an email confirming your payment and subscription
• A sticker will be issued prior to 1 April 2020 if you subscribe by 15 March 2020 (or within 10 working days if you subscribe after this date) and must be attached to each subscribed bin as directed
• Collections will continue on a fortnightly basis. Please present the green bin at the edge of your property by 7.30am on your scheduled collection day
• Only green bins labelled with an authorised subscription sticker will be collected. Any bins that are presented for collection without a sticker or with an unauthorised sticker will not be emptied
