- Garden waste collection
Brown bin garden waste collection
The garden waste collection service makes a significant contribution to
Cheltenham's recycling rate.
You can subscribe to the service by ordering and paying in advance for
one year. For the duration of the subscription, you will receive a brown
wheeled bin in which to keep your garden waste. The brown bin is
emptied fortnightly, on the alternate week to your kerbside recycling
box.
How the scheme works
If you opt into the scheme you will be issued with a 240 litre brown wheeled bin for your garden
waste. The brown bins will be emptied fortnightly. A bin will be delivered within 10 days of
payment being taken and it is possible to join the scheme at any time in the year on a 12 month
contract.
Only garden waste contained within the bin will be collected from the kerbside. Any additional
garden waste can be taken to the recycling centre on Swindon Road. Please ensure you put the
brown bin out by 7am on the day of collection.
Please remember that garden waste must not be put in the green refuse bins. Green refuse bins
containing garden waste may not be collected and you may be asked to remove the garden
waste before a collection can be made.
The council will contact you after 11 months to inform you that your subscription is due for
renewal. Your renewal date is set as the first of the month after your bin was delivered.
