Garden waste collection service consultation

We are proposing a change to our garden waste collection service to make it more sustainable.

The proposed change would see the introduction of a £70 charge for 2025/26 for the collection of a household's garden waste. The charge would support the running costs of the service and ensure it's paid for by those using it - rather than the cost being shared by all taxpayers, including those without gardens. 

Our garden waste collection service would continue to offer residents: 

  • better value for money than neighbouring boroughs through a cheaper rate per collection
  • weekly collections in spring, summer and autumn
  • greater capacity of collected garden waste than other boroughs.

Residents without a subscription would still be able to take their garden waste to our civic amenity sites for free. 

Have your say

The consultation is open until Monday 31  March, and a decision will be made in the spring.
