If you have not yet signed up to our garden waste service, we are sorry but our subscription window for 2024's collections is now closed. We will re-open subscriptions in late November when you will be able to sign up for collections in 2025.

If you have already signed up for a direct debit for garden waste, we will write to you before the end of October to notify you that we will take your 2025 subscription payment of £41 in early November.
