Garden Waste Offer

From March 2024, Braintree District Council will be introducing a subscription service for garden waste collections.

The first year’s subscription fee for the first green bin will be £55, however if you sign up as an Early Bird you will benefit from a 50% discount. You can also apply for more than one bin for an additional cost per bin.

If you are a resident that lives in a property which currently receives a black sack general rubbish collection – you can join the new garden waste collection too. Special biodegradable sacks can be purchased directly from BDC at a cost of £8 for a roll of 20 sacks. This includes purchase of sacks, delivery, and collections. No other type of sack will be accepted. The Early Bird offer also applies reducing the cost to £4 per roll.

Early Bird offer is open until 30 November, so catch it soon! 👍
