Brown bin collection dates
Your garden waste bin (brown bin) is picked up on the same week as your black bin. Please ensure bins are presented by 6.45am on day of collection.
The service runs from week beginning 1 May 2023 and finishes week beginning 22 April 2024.
Monthly collections in December and January are weeks beginning 4 / 11 December 2023 and weeks beginning 15 / 22 January 2024. Once your collection restarts in January 2024, please continue to present your bin for collections on its usual collection day.
Please note: For residents in Millfield North, Dogsthorpe South, Eye, Thorney and Werrington East, we will collect your brown bin a day earlier than your black bin.
Collection costs
- One bin = £50

After 30 April 2023, the direct debit payment option will no longer be available, so please use another means of payment.
