Update – 26 November 2024
The Council empties brown garden waste bins fortnightly between March 1 and December 14. However, there may be occasions when it is not possible to collect brown bins for reasons including adverse weather conditions.
If a collection is missed, we will endeavour to collect the bin(s) as soon as possible, however, this is not always feasible. Under no circumstances will refunds (whole or partial) be given for missed collections or being unable to collect a brown garden waste bin.
