CBC will collect garden waste between 18 October and 30 October. To facilitate this, food waste will not be collected, during this two-week window.
During this two-week window, residents are asked to place their garden waste bins or two council-issued bags at the kerbside instead of their food waste bins, from 7 am. This should be done on the days residents normally have their recycling collected.
To further help residents manage their waste, from Monday, 27 September, you will no longer need to book a slot at your local Household Waste Recycling Centres (tidy tips), which are open seven days a week from 9 am to 5 pm, including bank holidays.
What is happening with my garden waste?
- we are temporarily redeploying existing crews to attend to the build-up of garden waste
- garden waste will be collected between 18 October and 30 October
- food waste will not be collected during these two weeks
- during this two-week window, place your garden waste bins or two council issued bags at the kerbside
- this should be done on the days you normally have your recycling collected from 7am
- we can only collect the waste that is in resident’s garden bins or the two council issued green waste bags
- due to the high volume of garden waste expected we can’t collect any additional garden waste and can’t return if you forget to put out your bin or bags
- if your garden waste is not collected on your normal recycling day during the fortnight, the council asks that you leave the bin/bags on the kerbside, as collections may run into following days and weekends
