Garden waste

Garden waste must not be included with your general rubbish. You can compost it yourself at home, we have a special offer for residents, please see the following site for more information Cornwall Get Composting website. You can also take garden waste to any of our 13 household waste and recycling centres or you can use our garden waste collection service.

Garden Waste Collection Service

Garden waste collections are fortnightly. To receive the service you will need to buy a pre-paid permit and one of our brown wheeled bins or a reusable sack. Information on how to do this is below. We have also set up a list of frequently asked questions about garden waste to help you.

You can view the full terms and conditions for the service by following this link. Garden waste containers terms and conditions

When you subscribe to this service you can check when your garden waste collection is due by visiting the My Area page using the link on the right and entering your postcode when prompted.

Permits

You will also need to buy a permit to pay for the collections. Permits will be valid either for six months to cover the main growing season or 12 months for collections throughout the year.

If you already have a bin or bag you will only need to renew your permit which will be delivered by post.

How to apply

You can apply for the service and pay for your permit and bin or bag by:

  • phoning the refuse and recycling line on 0300 1234 141 and paying over the phone using a debit or credit card
  • visiting any one stop shop and paying in person.

Currently we cannot take online payments for this service but plan to in the near future.

The new bins will be delivered along with your permit, a collection schedule and details of what may be placed out for collection.

Remember to stick your permit on the bin or bag so the collection crews will know you have paid for the service.

There are restrictions around the composting of garden waste which contains certain invasive species, please follow the guidance on the Invasive Species page for disposal.
