If you live in a house, or a house divided up into flats, you can pay to have your garden waste collected each week. You can share these collections with your neighbours.
Changes to garden waste collection days from 7 April 2025
We are improving our garden waste collection service, reorganising collection routes to be more sustainable. This means that from 7 April 2025 most subscribers will have their garden waste collected on a different day to their recycling, food waste and rubbish.
We have written to subscribers with details of the change and their new garden waste collection day, which will appear on our website search tool from 4 April.
