Garden waste collections for 2024 are ending soon

Dear Resident,

As we approach the end of this year’s garden waste collection service, I’d like to remind you it will soon be your last collection.

The last collections take place between Monday 25 November and Friday 6 December 2024. To check when your last collection is, please visit the bin calendar page.

Please remember to put your bin out by 6am.

Preparing for 2025

You’ll be able to purchase your 2025 garden waste collection licence early in the new year, and we’ll be in touch with more details soon.

Visit our website to find out more about the garden waste service.

Christmas tree disposal

If you have a real Christmas tree this festive season it can be chopped up small and left in your garden waste wheelie bin for collection in March 2025, once you’ve paid for your new licence (please don’t forget to remove all decorations).

Alternatively, you can recycle it at a Household Waste Recycling Centre, or you may find a local charity willing to collect it for a small fee.

Thank you for using our garden waste collection service and we look forward to you doing so again next year.

Yours faithfully,
Harry J Briggs
Head of waste operations and streetscene
