Garden Waste Recycling Scheme
Remember that your Garden Waste can easily be turned into nutrient rich compost!
We can collect garden waste at the kerbside but not at the same time as household rubbish or recycling. Our new Garden Waste Scheme is available to everybody in the town but we would always recommend that people consider Home Composting first as this remains the most environmentally friendly method of recycling green waste.
If you are unable to home compost and want to join the new scheme, you can do so for an annual £35 fee. In return for this, you will receive a brown wheeled bin which will be emptied from your property fortnightly.
Over two thousand residents have already signed up for the scheme and we are now collecting twice as much garden waste as last year so it's making a massive contribution to increased recycling rates throughout the town. Numbers for the scheme are growing increasingly limited so if you would like to take part please contact the Council.
Please remember that you can always take green waste to our main recycling centre.
