The current subscription expires at the end of this month so you’ll have to subscribe if you’d like to still have it collected until the end of March next year.
The easiest way to do this is on our website.
It costs £60 for each garden waste bin, with a maximum of two per household. Those unable to have garden waste bins can pay the same £60 for three garden waste sacks. Households can have a maximum of six sacks.
Once renewed, you should receive your permit through the post within 15 working days.
Subscriptions for the most financially vulnerable households are subsidised. This is automatically applied at sign-up or renewal.
If you know someone who can’t renew online, we’re asking that friends or relatives help them. Or they can use computers for free in any of our libraries.
The new garden waste subscription service runs from Monday 1 April 2024 to Monday 31 March 2025.
Those who don’t renew will automatically stop receiving collections after Sunday 31 March.
Check all your waste and recycling collection dates on our website.
Could you compost?
Composting garden waste can have significant environmental benefits.
Composting at home for just one year can save greenhouse gases equivalent to all the carbon dioxide your kettle produces annually.
It also saves you money as you don’t need to buy compost for your garden.
If you’re interested in trying but don’t know where to start, a ‘learn to compost’ workshop takes place from 10am to 11.45am next Tuesday (26 March), at Yeo Valley Organic Garden in Blagdon.
To book your place, email Kate at keastment@gardenorganic.org.uk or call 07725 990 708.
