You can use these collections to dispose of normal green waste.
We ran a successful trial with over a 1,000 households offering them two extra collections for £15. Due to this, we are extending the six extra collections for £30 to any residents in the Borough.
The normal, 32 week, green waste collection will remain free.
It will not, they will remain the same.
The free service will run each fortnight from March until end of October, start of November. If you pay for the extra service, it will begin once the free one ends.

You can cancel the extra six collections service at any time.
