About the garden waste service
Householders wishing to recycle garden waste in an Inverclyde Council brown bin need to buy a seasonal garden waste permit.
A permit is required for each brown bin presented containing garden waste.
The cost of garden waste permit for the 2024 season is £42.00.
The charge applies regardless of at what point in the year the permit is purchased.
Permits last for all brown bin collections during the garden waste collection season.
Seasonal brown bin collections take place between March and November.
Please present your brown bin by 7am on your regular recycling collection day during the season.
Bins presented containing garden waste without a valid permit will not be emptied.
Soil cannot be recycled in brown bins.
Brown bins containing soil will not be uplifted.
The 2024 garden waste collection service has been suspended.
The service is scheduled to recommence in March 2025.
You can recycle your garden waste at the Recycling Centres throughout the year.
