Garden waste collection

Sign up for our garden waste collection service

  • For an annual subscription, residents will be provided with 24 fortnightly collections of garden waste over the course of the year. 

  • The Garden Waste service will break for four weeks over Christmas and the New Year period from mid-December to mid-January (beginning December 2025). This time of year sees a drop in the amount of garden waste collected and enables crews to support the collection of extra recycling and waste generated over the festive period. This includes the collection of Christmas trees.

You can sign up and pay for the Garden Waste Collection Service online. Paying for the service means you agree to the terms and conditions.
