Garden waste services

Garden waste, including leaves, grass cuttings and hedge trimmings, are not collected as part of your recycling or rubbish collections.

Green waste club

The Garden Waste Club is at capacity and can't accept any new members or additional bin requests. Please ask Biffa to put your details on a waiting list which is operating on a first come, first served basis. We are regularly reviewing capacity with Biffa.

We appreciate this is disappointing and apologise for the inconvenience caused. 

If you would like to join the Council's Green Waste Club or are an existing member and have an enquiry, please e-mail the Green Waste Club, or call 0800 0858 286.

Please read the terms and conditions.

Christmas trees

To dispose of a real Christmas tree, please cut up your tree (maximum tree trunk 10cm diameter) and put it in your brown wheeled bin. Make sure the lid is closed.

You may be able to take the things we can't collect to a community recycling centre.

If your garden waste bin has been missed please check if there is a delay to the service. If there are no delays listed, please report a missed collection by calling 0800 0858 286. Missed collections need to be reported within two working days of your scheduled collection date.

You can download and print the garden waste collection calendar which runs from April 2025 to March 2026.

Garden waste collections will not change following bank holidays except over Christmas when the service is suspended for two weeks.
