Subscription window for 2024 garden waste collections opens 8 January 2024
Residents can subscribe to have their garden waste collected in 2024 from 8 January 2024, with collections due to restart on the week of 26 February 2024.
The service operates on an opt-in basis and will cost £50 per bin per calendar year for 2024. Residents can subscribe for as many bins as they need, but each will be subject to the £50 charge. Residents in receipt of full council tax reduction will be offered a reduction of £10 on the cost of one garden waste bin.
The best time to sign up for the service is before the end of January to benefit from all 20 collections during the calendar year.
The service is offered fortnightly over 40 weeks of the year with a 12-week suspension outside of growing season over the winter months.
If residents produce garden waste during winter, they can dispose of it at their local household waste recycling centre for composting. Alternatively, residents could pile it up in a sheltered place in their garden, and then place it into their garden waste bin once the 2024 service starts again.
Cllr Karen Shore, Cabinet Member for Environment, Transport and Highways, said:
Residents can subscribe for the 2024 service from Monday 8 January:
- Telephone: 0300 123 7026
- In person at any Cheshire West and Chester library.
