Garden waste subscription

You can report a missed collection. You need to do this by the end of the next working day after your scheduled collection. This is so that we have time to investigate and return before the next collection is due.

We may have left a sticker on your bin saying you need to subscribe. If you believe you have subscribed and our information is wrong, you can report a missed collection using your WGW reference number.

If you are not able to do this, please raise a garden waste enquiry to let us know. Generally it may help to clearly identify your property number on your bin so our operatives are sure which property the bin belongs to.

You need to renew your subscription by 17 March 2025 for an uninterrupted service. 

Subscriptions for 2024/25 will expire on 31 March 2025 and will not show on our crews' in-cab devices for collection after this date. 

You can renew until 30 April 2025 but you will not receive a collection until the subscription has been paid. The subscription will expire after this date and you will not be able to renew.

If the original subscription was set up for someone else and not in your name, you can't manage the account online. However, you can call customer services to support renewing the subscription that is not in your name, or alternatively, complete a garden waste enquiry form.

Your waste should be contained within your bags and not be overflowing, jammed in or too heavy for one person to lift.

Your bags must be presented outside your property boundary, clearly visible from the road, by 6.30am on your collection day.

You may need to cut waste into smaller pieces so that it stays contained in the bag. Please see terms and conditions.

If you wish, you can add a subscription to get an extra supply of three reusable bags. You can manage your subscription online from 2 April 2025.

This is possible. Please raise a garden waste enquiry to make a request.
