Reminder to renew garden waste collection service

The new subscription charge will be £42.50 per year per bin, with the service beginning on 1 June 2024.

Residents who pay for the garden waste collection by direct debit do not need to do anything. 

Instead, the council will collect payment of £42.50 for each garden waste bin from bank accounts on 1 April and send a new sticker by mid-May. New stickers should be placed on bins as soon as they are received.

Anyone who does not pay by direct debit can renew their subscription from 1 April onwards. Customers are advised to renew no later than 17 May to avoid disruptions to the service. 

This will also allow plenty of time for the new stickers to arrive.

To renew, visit garden waste service or you can call us on 01455 23814. Payments can be made by credit or debit card. 

For those who choose not to subscribe to the service, there are other options for disposing of garden waste, including:

• Composting at home: garden waste and other material can be recycled by purchasing a compost bin. Learn more about composting at Get Composting (getcomposting.com)
• Taking garden waste to a recycling and household waste site (leicestershire.gov.uk)
