Calling all brown bin permit holders - you can have extra garden waste collected for free, on your normal scheduled collection day only, between 31 March* and 11 April.
You can leave out a maximum of up to four additional sacks of garden waste, per brown bin subscription, next to your brown bin.
To be eligible for a collection, please follow this guidance:
• Only present natural garden waste, such as cut grass, plants or branches.
• Please use standard sized (60L) black refuse-style sacks or boxes / containers totalling no more than a standard bin full.
• Please DO NOT use bags larger than 60l (including one tonne builders’ type waste bags) – our crews will not collect any garden waste from these, as they are too heavy to lift.
• Bags and containers must be left open so crews can easily empty them into the rear of the vehicle.
*This service is also available to current garden waste collection subscribers who are due to receive a collection on 31 March, prior to the start of the new permits on 1 April.
