Garden waste recycling service

Contents

Home composting and alternatives

If you choose not to subscribe to the scheme, you can dispose of your garden waste by:

You should not put garden waste in your black household waste bin or silver recycling bin. We will not empty black or silver bins which contain garden waste. 

Food waste

We encourage you to reduce, reuse and recycle your food waste as much as possible so that less waste needs to be disposed of, and this includes trying home composting.

If home composting isn’t possible, you can put food waste into your black bin – we hope that this will be a temporary measure.

We are awaiting the outcome of central government proposals which may mean that all councils need to provide a separate food waste collection service to all properties.

If you don't subscribe to the garden waste recycling scheme, you should keep your garden bin at your property as it is assigned to the property and not a person. Bins will not be taken away by the council.

You will be able to subscribe to the scheme at any time throughout the year.
