Please note - there is a charge for the collection of your garden waste.
Please see information on Garden Waste - staggered charges for current prices
Garden waste is collected every fortnight to be made into compost.
Garden waste is collected by paying for our wheeled bin service or by purchasing individual paper sacks that are biodegradable and suitable for composting.
Please note, the garden waste collections have been designed to collect the materials that you would not normally compost at home. Please try and compost as much as you can at home. To find out more about home composting, go to Home Composting.

To find out your collection day: Your recycling, rubbish and composting (garden waste) are all collected on the same day but please note that your composting collection is every alternate week. To find out your collection day and week, please go to www.bathnes.gov.uk/myhouse.
Every year we deliver a leaflet that includes a calendar to help you remember your collection day and week. You can download a copy from the Related Documents section on this page or request a copy from Council Connect 01225 39 40 41 councilconnect@bathnes.gov.uk.
Putting your garden waste out
Please make sure your garden waste is put out by 7am on the day of collection. It needs to be at the front boundary of your property so that it is easily visible and accessible to make it easy for the crews to locate.
