Direct debit subscriptions for 2019/2020 have now ended, please complete the above form and pay by debit/credit card.

Alternatively, please call 01253 891000 to subscribe for 2019/2020. Subscription ends 30 April 2020.

Subscription and cost

The cost will be £30 per year plus £25 for each additional bin if ordered at initial contact, payable in advance. This equates to £1.36 per collection (22 collections per year as there are no collections over the festive period). This is a non-refundable/non-transferable fixed cost for the period 1 May to 30 April each year.

The green waste subscription service takes effect from 1 May each year. You can subscribe at any time during the year. The annual charge will remain the same. However, if you wish to sign up for annual Direct Debit, this must be done by the 24 March and payment will be taken during the first week of April each year. You will be notified by email at least three working days in advance of the payment being taken. If you signed up for Direct Debit last year then you do not need to do anything (unless your circumstances have changed), we will send you an email to confirm everything is still setup.

Please note: green bins will only be issued with a valid subscription

Hint and tips: sharing a bin with a neighbour would halve the costs for you both

Additional bins

The first bin will be charged at the rate of £30 for one bin collected on a fortnightly basis for the period the service runs, but if paying for multiple bins on the initial contact a discounted rate of £25 will be applied for each additional bin. The discount for additional bins is only applicable when paying at the initial subscription stage. Additional bins required at a later date will be charged at £30 per bin. To be eligible for the discount for additional bins the subscription shall be for one address only.

Once subscribed

• If you subscribe before the end of March, stickers will be issued during April.  For subscriptions after this date, the sticker will be issued for you within 10 working days of payment being received. Please attach the sticker to your bin as instructed so we know you have paid the subscription
• Collections will continue on a fortnightly basis and collection dates remain the same. Please ensure you present your bin by 7.30am on your scheduled collection day
