Request a garden waste collection online
We will consider your request if:
- you live in a new property in an area of Eden that receives a garden waste collection
- all the properties in your area receive a garden waste collection
Place no more than three garden waste bins on the kerb or collection point by 7am on collection days.
We will only collect up to a maximum of 5 bags of side waste.
Preparing your garden waste for collection
All garden waste should be contained within the bin provided. The bin lids must be fully closed. We reserve the right not to empty a bin if it is severely overloaded as this may cause damage to the bins and our vehicles whilst the bin is being emptied.
Garden waste that has been compacted inside the bin or is too heavy cannot be collected. We will only empty green garden waste bins issued by us. In addition, any waste placed at the side of the bin or on top of the bin will not be collected unless otherwise agreed.
If there is evidence of misuse of the service or the garden waste bin by residents, we reserve the right to cancel the service. The garden waste bin must only be used to collect garden waste from your property.
In winter, low temperatures may cause garden waste to freeze inside the bin. If this happens, we may not be able to collect your garden waste.
