Brown bin

Garden waste collection 2024

We empty your brown bin fortnightly:

  • until last collection on 15 November 2024
  • if it correctly displays a 2024 collection sticker.

The collection service costs £40 per bin.

Payments are temporarily closed

You can sign up and pay from 25 April 2024. Payments will temporarily close again on 2 May.

Temporarily suspending payments lets us concentrate on dispatching stickers to subscribers, and designing collection routes. It also means that if you sign up and pay after the initial deadline, you will get your sticker within 4 weeks rather than up to 6 weeks.

When will my sticker arrive?

If you signed up before 12 noon on 28 March, your sticker should arrive by 12 April. If it doesn't, please let us know.

Collection dates

Collections are fortnightly from 11 March to 15 November 2024. Your first and last collection will depend on where your property lies within the collection cycle.

There are no changes to garden waste collection days.

If your brown bin was previously emptied on:

  • the same day as your grey bin,
  • or (in rural areas) the day after your grey bin,

this will continue.

Buy the compost produced from our garden waste

Your garden waste is taken to a local facility for composting. The resulting soil improver is available from Caledonian Horticulture.
