*Important News Regarding Garden Waste Collection from 3rd April 2023*
New Garden Waste Collection Service Starting April 3rd 2023
Residents across North Northamptonshire can now sign up for the new optional, chargeable 12-month garden waste collection service.
Residents will have to subscribe to the new paid-for service to be eligible for collections from April 3, 2023. The service will then run all year round.
The annual subscription charge for the fortnightly service, with collections starting on April 3, 2023, is £40 per bin and can be paid online via debit or credit card.
Residents unable to go online can subscribe to the service by Calling Customer Services on 0300 126 3000. Our lines are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
More details about the service and how to sign up are available in the of the council’s website. https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/bin-collections/garden-waste
People can sign up any time and, once payment is processed, will receive a new garden waste permit for sticking onto their bin so collection crews know to collect it.
Alternatives
As part of the refreshed service, the council will also be offering an enhancement to the subsidised compost bin scheme, where residents can buy a home compost bin for £5 plus delivery.
The authority will also be offering an ad hoc sack collection system, at £16.50 for ten compostable sacks, for those not needing or wanting a bin.
Residents can also take green waste to their nearest household waste recycling centre in the NNC area for free disposal. https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/find-household-waste-recycling-centre-hwrc
