Garden waste collection
You can use the reusable white bags for your garden waste. We will collect it on your green week.
To ensure your bags are collected for recycling:
- only use the bags that are provided by us
- put your bags out for collection after 7.00pm on the evening before your collection and before 6.00am on the morning of your collection day
- don't put out more than 10 garden bags per collection
- make sure your bag is not too heavy (under 15kg)
- prevent your bags going astray by writing your house number on them
- use our recycling and rubbish collection search to find out what day we collect your bags
