Christmas suspension
- garden waste bins will not be emptied for two weeks after Christmas
- subscribers will receive 25 collections during the collection year
Cost
- £50 per subscription period, per bin
Concessions
- if you are in receipt of income related council tax benefit you will pay a concessionary fee of £45 per subscription period, per bin
How many bins can I have?
- you can have up to four bins collected from your property
- each additional bin will be charged at a cost of £50 per subscription period
- concessions will apply on all bins
Can I join the service part way through the year?
You can join the service at any time during the subscription period but you will still be required to pay the full yearly amount for the remainder of the subscription period.
