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.
