Subscribe to the serviceWhat happens after I subscribe?
If you subscribed before 20 March 2019, you should receive your garden waste pack by 31 March 2019.
If you subscribed after 20 March 2019, you will receive your garden waste pack up to 15 working days after your payment has been processed.
Your pack will include:
- a letter with your bin collection dates on the reverse
- terms and conditions
- a sticker for your green bin(s) - use a permanent marker to put your address on the sticker, then place the sticker on the body of your green bin, below the handle (replacing the previous year's sticker)
What if I haven't received my sticker?
If you subscribed before 20 March 2019 and you haven't received your sticker when your collections start, you can still put your green bin out for collection. Our garden waste crews have a list of which residents have subscribed. Please note - it takes up to 15 days after subscribing for your property to be added to our collection list.
You will continue to use your existing green bin. If you do not have a green bin, you will need to buy a new one. You can order a new bin online.
