Residents who subscribed in good time to the garden waste scheme from 6th April should now have received their bin stickers. If you haven't yet received your sticker please contact using our online form. If you have recently subscribed please allow 10 days for your sticker to arrive before contacting us. For those customers who have a sack collection, these have been delivered by our internal teams. You will get three rolls of white, marked biodegradable sacks per subscription. These are to be used now that the new service has started.
You can still subscribe to the scheme here.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding in these exceptional times.

Food waste collections
Food waste collections returned to a weekly frequency from w/c 15 March. Please note that food collections will now be collected separately from your other waste in a new food waste vehicle.The usual spring delivery of free biodegradable food bags should take place in April/May. If you are running out of the food bags we supply, in the current circumstances we are happy for people to put food waste direct into your kerbside caddy (it would be good if you could wash it out afterwards) or add their kitchen caddy to the kerbside collection. You can also use any biodegradable bag that conforms to BS:EN13432 standard, displaying the logo below.
It's a good idea to clean frequently touched surfaces in your home with household products such as detergents and bleach, as these are effective at getting rid of the virus on surfaces.
