Brown bin

Garden waste collection

2023 collection service

Payment for the service is closed until 27 April.

Brown bins will be emptied fortnightly until 17 November 2023.

• The charge for the brown bin collection in 2023 is £35.00 per bin.
• We will only empty your brown bin if it correctly displays a valid collection sticker.

When will my sticker arrive?

If you signed up and paid between 16 and 30 March, your sticker(s) will be sent out by the 13th of April.

Collection dates

Collections finish on 17 November 2023. Your last collection depends on where your property lies within the collection cycle.

There are no changes to existing garden waste collection days. If your brown bin was previously emptied on the same day as your grey bin this will continue.

If you live in a rural area where your brown bin was emptied on the day following your grey bin collection, this will continue.
