Wiltshire: Time to renew your garden waste collection
Renew your garden waste collection by Monday 30 June to avoid missing a collection.
As part of the garden waste collection service we will compost bark, cut flowers, grass cuttings, hedge clippings, house plants, leaves, shrub prunings, twigs and small branches, untreated sawdust, wood shavings, and weeds. Help us compost as much as we can and reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill.
Once you have renewed, remember to make sure your garden bin is identifiable by putting your house number on it. Numbers should be clearly displayed on the back of the bin, and bins should be presented for collection with the handle facing outwards.

DIO Service Family Accommodation (SFA) Communications Update - 2 Jun 25
As you may have seen in the news over the weekend, the Defence Secretary Rt Hon John Healey MP announced an additional £1.5 billion of funding, over the next five years, to improve military accommodation across the UK.
Following the landmark deal which brought 36,347 military homes back into public ownership, we have already begun the process of transformative change. This includes the delivery of the seven commitments set out in the Consumer Charter that we shared with you last month. These commitments reflect our plans to transform living conditions for you across the UK through improved service provision, communication and upgrades to homes.
DIO has advocated for sustained investment into the estate for many years and we believe this will be a turning point in allowing us to deliver significant change to your future lived experience.
