Central Beds Council: Update on garden waste collections
Date Added: 21/02/2023
Is that a hint of freshly cut grass we can smell? Spring must be on its way, which also means that garden waste collections will be resuming soon.
Your collections will restart from 27 February on your normal recycling day.
Remember to place your bin out by 7am on your recycling day with all garden waste inside your garden waste bin or bags. After the winter break you may have large branches, trunks or plants, these can be included if they are cut into smaller pieces.
What can go in the garden waste bin/bags?
It is important to place the right waste in your garden waste bin or bags, otherwise we may not be able to empty them. Here’s a handy list of what to include and what to keep out:
Yes please:
• grass cuttings
