Kerbside Recycling Service

You can find out if your street has a garden waste collection and the day it takes place by entering your postcode at GreenBoxDay.

Garden waste collections are four-weekly during December, January and February. Garden waste collections will return to a fortnightly collection in spring and residents will receive their new calendars soon. 

You can order a garden waste calendar or brown garden waste bin by using our recycling box/bag or garden waste bins online form or by contacting us directly by email or phone.

Make sure your brown garden waste bin is out for collection on the kerbside by 7am on your collection day.  Sometimes, your garden waste may be collected in the afternoon or evening by our late shift crews. So, please leave your bin out until 10pm and we will make every effort to collect.

Garden waste can also be recycled at any of our Community Recycling Centres.
