Reminder to renew garden waste collection service
Green fingered residents are reminded that they will need to renew their subscription to the garden waste collection service by 31 May.
The new subscription charge will be £47.50 per year per bin, with the service beginning on 1 June 2025.
Residents who pay for the garden waste collection by direct debit do not need to do anything. Instead, the council will collect payment of £47.50 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 ensure they do not renew later than 16 May to avoid disruptions to the service. This will also allow plenty of time for the new stickers to arrive.
Renewals for customers who do not pay by direct debit can be made from 1 April onwards; the fastest way to do this is by visiting garden bins
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 materials can be recycled by purchasing a compost bin from www.getcomposting.com
- Taking garden waste to a Leicestershire County Council Household Waste and Recycling Site
