Garden Waste Subscription Service
Our garden waste collection is an opt-in paid subscription service. If you wish to receive a fortnightly green-lidded bin collection you will need to pay an annual fee.
Subscriptions for the 2024 collection service (starting in March and ending in November) are now available to buy. The cost is £50 per green-lidded bin. Each additional green-lidded bin is charged at the same rate.
You can buy your subscription or an additional green-lidded bin online:
How does it work?
- To have your garden waste collected, you need to buy a subscription via the link above. Those without internet access can call our Customer Services on 01442 228000.
- Once subscribed you will receive a subscription sticker with a unique serial number. Attach the sticker to the body of your Dacorum Borough Council green-lidded bin to make it eligible for collection. If a bin does not have a sticker then we will not collect it.
- We collect green-lidded bins fortnightly from the beginning of March until the end of November. Find out when your next collection is.
- If you do not already have a green-lidded bin or need a new additional green-lidded bin, you will have to pay a one-off fee of £29 for delivery of the bin.
What are the alternatives?
If you decide not to sign up to the paid service, there are many ways you can still recycle your garden waste. You can compost it in a home composting bin and turn it into valuable and nutrient-rich food for your garden, or take it to your local recycling centre.
