Garden waste collection

You can now sign up for the service that runs from 1 June 2025 to 31 May 2026.

Key information

  • New subscriptions - no garden waste bins will be emptied before 1 June 2025.
  • You can now sign up and pay online. Please follow the link below to our subscription page. We recommend signing up by direct debit as renewal is automatic each year, unless cancelled.
  • New subscriptions and card payer renewals - Please make sure you subscribe at least two working days before your collection is due, to give us time to process your application.
  • When you apply online, please ensure you select whether a bin is required.
  • We aim to deliver bins within four weeks, however, on occasions, this may not be possible. We will endeavour to deliver them as quickly as possible, should this be the case. 

Your brown bin collection day could be a different day to your black or blue bin collection day. Visit Find my nearest to find your bin collection day information.

To make the most of your garden waste collection service please make sure:

 

  • your bin has your house name or number clearly displayed on it
  • your bin is at its collection point by 6.15am on your collection day
  • you tell us if you move house
  • you let us know within two working days if we have missed your collection.

Subsidised offers on home compost bins are still available from GetComposting. For more information on how to compost at home visit Suffolk Recycles - Home composting.
