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. Check out our garden waste recycling video.

Garden waste collections have now returned to a fortnightly collection and your new Spring/Summer 2012 garden waste calendars have been delivered. If you haven't received one, please contact us or use GreenBoxDay to check your collection day.

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.

Visit our assisted collection page to find out how you can get help putting your bin out.
