Garden Waste (Wheelie Bin) Collection Service Is Now Full
The garden waste service is currently full. We will throughout
the year be reviewing the position as some customers do not renew
their annual subscription. We can take expressions of
interest and we will contact you if bins become available.
This service is not available for households with sack
collections
The cost of the service for one year is £40 by Direct Debit. To
register your expression of interest click here.
Our garden waste collection service is specifically designed for
residents who generate a lot of garden waste but don't have
sufficient home composting facilities, so help keep your
garden tidy and do your bit for the environment.
You can put all your compostable garden waste in a special 240
litre brown wheeled bin which is collected every fortnight
throughout the year. We continue collecting throughout the
winter months on the normal fortnighly schedule, weather
permitting.

Garden Waste Sacks

in your area or your household is exempt from wheelie bins
Garden sacks are sent for landfill disposal so
are collected on the grey landfill week, not on
the green recycling week. The sacks should be put
out for collection with your grey wheelie bin or black sacks.
Sacks can be purchased at £1.80 each from our Community
Contact Centres in Abbey Road, Evesham,
High Street, Droitwich Spa, the
Civic Centre, Pershore or Broadway
Library. Alternatively, we can post them to you:-
