Yes, there is a limit on the amount of garden waste you can put in the brown bin. West Lothian Council allows each household to present up to two brown bins at any one time, and each bin must display a valid garden waste permit to be emptied.
Here's a summary of the key points regarding garden waste collection:
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Number of Bins | Up to 2 brown bins per household |
| Permit Cost | £55.75 per annum for each bin |
| Collection Requirement | Bins must display a valid garden waste permit |
| What Can Go In Your Bin? | Grass cuttings, leaves, twigs, hedge clippings, small branches, and plants |
| What Cannot Go In Your Bin? | Rubble, soil, pet waste, plant pots, timber, garden furniture, concrete, etc. |
Remember not to compact the material in your bin, as this could result in it being only partially emptied. If you're ready to apply for a permit or need more information, you can do so here.
