Register for removal of unwanted garden waste bins

Friday, 29 November 2024

We're now taking requests for the removal of unwanted/unused green garden waste bins.

Households that don’t plan to sign up for the garden waste collection subscription next year have until 10 January 2025 to request the removal of their unwanted bin. The bins will be collected across Central Bedfordshire in two phases between 6 and 31 January 2025.

Find out how to request the removal of your garden waste bin.

Councillor Tracey Wye, our Executive Member for Sustainability and Climate Resilience, said:

In the new year, the council will begin taking subscriptions for garden waste collections which will restart in the spring. We anticipate this will continue to be a very popular service. However, we also understand some people who do not intend to sign up would like an easy way to return the green garden waste bins.

I would also encourage people to consider home composting if they have not already done so.
