How does the garden waste service work?

If you would like to use the Council’s garden waste collection service you need to apply and pay for a seasonal permit online.

  • You will need one permit for each brown bin you use.
  • Once your permit arrives in the post, peel the permit from the backing paper and stick carefully to the back of your brown bin, below the handles (instructions will appear on the reverse of the permit).
  • Simply use your brown bin to recycle all your green garden waste.
  • Your permit lasts for all the brown bin collections in that garden waste season, so you will need to reapply each year for a new permit
