Garden waste
The council operates a brown bin scheme whereby garden waste is collected from outside your house and taken to a local site where it is composted for use on fields in the area.
The brown bins are 240 litres in size and are collected fortnightly, on the same day that your recycling is collected. To find out which week this will be please see our Collections page. The annual cost of this service is £36.50 per bin. In extreme circumstances biodegradable sacks are available in quantities of 50 at £36.50, but special requests must be made for this service, and will be subject to a visit to confirm suitability.
How to order a brown bin
You can order and pay for a brown bin by downloading an application and direct debit mandate form from the related documents section on the right of this page. Please fill these forms in and send them to the address on the form. Alternatively you can also phone 01235 520202 to request an application pack by post. Payment method for brown bins is by Direct Debit only. For further information please get in touch with the Waste Management Team

Other ways of disposing of garden waste
Garden waste can also be taken to County waste recycling centres. Or to help Vale residents compost their own garden waste at home, we are also offering compost bins and water butts at discounted rates. Please see Special offers on composters and water butts for more details.
