If you've just moved into a property with two old garden bins and want them collected, you'll need to ensure they meet the council's requirements. The council collects only garden waste bins that are registered with them and have an appropriate sticker for the collection service.
| Action | Details |
|---|---|
| Register for the service | Free for the first bin; £45 for additional bin. Sign up for garden waste collections |
| Ensure bins are in good condition | Only council-provided bins will be emptied. |
| Present bins for collection | Must be out by 7.00am on collection day. |
Make sure your bins are registered and prepared for collection on the specified day. If the bins belong to the property and are in use, you should be able to use them for your garden waste.
