You can book a bundled green waste collection twice a year, in April and in October.
Booking a collection
Bookings open on Monday 19 September and close on Friday 28 October at 2 pm.
Collections start Monday 3 October and will take place until Friday 4 November 2022.
Book in your collection at least one week before you want your green waste collected. This will make sure our contractors can fit your collection into their schedules.
Your bundled green waste will be collected between Monday to Friday during your chosen week.
