Herefordshire Council has opened subscriptions for its new fortnightly garden waste collection service, launching in March. The scheme replaces single‑use green sacks with a 240‑litre brown wheelie bin or reusable sacks for properties where a bin isn’t suitable. Collections will run throughout the year with a short break at Christmas, and all garden waste will be composted locally and turned into soil improver available from household recycling centres.

The new service aims to make garden waste disposal easier and greener while supporting the county’s wider recycling goals by reducing reliance on single‑use plastics and increasing local compost production.

A subscription costs £60 per year plus a £10 delivery fee for your bin or sacks. Residents are encouraged to sign up now to ensure they’re ready for the start of collections and to help the council plan routes and container deliveries.
