Brown bin permit holders can have extra garden waste collected this Autumn

Brown bin permit holders can have extra garden waste collected for free, on their normal scheduled collection day only, between 27 October and 7 November.  

A row of waste and recycling containers and vehicles is shown on a white and magenta striped background. From left to right: two garbage bags, a small green food waste caddy, a tall black bin, a tall brown bin, a tall green recycling bin, a large green recycling dumpster, a green recycling truck, and a white street sweeper vehicle. At the bottom right, there are five colored icons: a green arrow, a purple circular arrow, a teal circular arrow, a pink check mark, and a blue exclamation mark.
