How the collection service works

A brown garden waste wheelie bin will be delivered to you by the Council. You will also receive an annual membership sticker to display on your bin and information your collection day.  The collection service operates for 10 months of the year and is collected every two weeks.

Your wheelie bin or bag must be placed kerbside by 6am on the day of your collection. Only garden waste contained within the wheelie bin or bag will be collected. Any lapsed membership will result in the garden waste bin not being collected and the bin will be removed.  The garden waste is emptied into a dedicated vehicle and then sent to a local facility to be recycled.

Cost of the service

Hire and collection of the bin costs £45 per year or part year and is not refundable.

Ordering or renewing a bin
At present we are not taking orders for bins as we are up to our quota, however, you can put your name on the waiting list and when a bin becomes available you will be contacted to see if you still require it.  Please e-mail Customer.services@spelthorne.gov.uk if you would like your name added to the list.
