About the garden waste collection service

Existing customers: You were sent a confirmation email when you paid for this year's service, which has a link where you can manage your service including renewing it or ordering a new bin. We will email you reminders when it is time to renew your service. If you didn’t receive an email, please check your spam or junk folder. If you still cannot find it, or you paid over the phone and don't have an email address, please call us on 020 8726 6200 so we can check your details and re-send the email if required.

Our green garden waste service offers collections every 2 weeks for £76.35 a year.

Price rise to £83.00 a year from 1 April 2024.

The service is only available to households that receive a collection of their own individual bins.

The garden waste service is not available to properties that have a shared or communal rubbish bin, for example blocks of flats.

Garden waste can be used to make compost at home, if you don't use this service.

If you are new to this service, we will send you a new wheelie bin with a brown lid. If you have previously used this service and have re-subscribed, you can continue to use your current wheelie bin with a brown lid. Bins remain the property of Croydon council.
