Garden Waste Collection Service
Need help getting rid of your garden waste? Have you got
too much garden waste to compost?
Wyre Forest District Council can help.
A new environmentally-friendly Garden Waste Collection Service
began in April 2010.
This is a hassle-free way of getting rid of your garden waste,
including grass cuttings, hedge and shrub clippings, weeds, cut
flowers, leaves, twigs and bark.
Don't worry if you join part-way through the season; collections
are fortnightly until the end of November 2010, and will then begin
again in March 2011. The service costs £30 per year (payable
by direct debit only). There is also a one-off £20 fee
for a brown wheeled bin. Your annual subscription fee is
due on your 'anniversary' date, a year after your service
began.
Check the service covers your area
Initially the service is limited and won't cover all
homes. To check that we're operating the service in your
area, please use the
property search online facility.
Check the service is right for you
If your area is covered, you can read our
Garden Waste Collection Service Frequently Asked Questions to
check that the service is right for you. These include
information on payments, what we can and can not collect as well as
what to do if the service is not available in your area.
You could also visit one of our
roadshows, where Council officers will be happy to answer your
questions.

Still not sure? Here are just some advantages of the
service:
- It's convenient and easy to use
- It saves the time of loading your car and taking it to the
Household Recycling Centre, and reduces your carbon footprint.
- It saves trouble cleaning up grass and dirt from the back of
your car afterwards
- The garden waste is composted into a usable soil conditioner,
and is available to purchase to improve your garden.
- It avoids garden waste being sent to landfill where it would
rot and produce a toxic gas called methane, which contributes to
climate change.
