Using a compost bin or heap is the best option for the environment and your garden. Also, you can compost kitchen waste such as fruit and vegetable peelings as well as garden waste.

Compost bins can be bought for as little as £8. To find out more, call 0845 077 0757.

All residents can receive a garden waste collection service using a brown wheeled bin. The service can be purchased from the borough council for £27.50 (this is an annual service charge rather than a one-off bin cost). However this price stays at £26 with our early bird offer if booked before 1st June 2007.

Garden waste only, no food/kitchen scraps. Collections are fortnightly, normally on the same day as your refuse. For a collection calendar or further information, please contact the Recycling Team.

You can also recycle excess garden waste at your Household Recycling Centre. Garden waste only, no food/kitchen scraps.
