Garden waste collection | Sevenoaks District Council

Garden waste collection

Christmas collections: Our Garden Waste Collection Service will not be running after Friday 13 December until Monday 13 January when a normal service will resume.
 

Dispose of your garden waste the easy way with our fortnightly garden waste collection service.

We collect your garden waste every two weeks, usually on the same day as your rubbish is collected. We ask that your bin or sacks are left at your property boundary by 7am on your collection day.

You can take part in our service in two different ways
 

Option 1 - Annual permit

For £55 a year, we will loan you a 240 litre garden waste wheelie bin, suitable for a typical sized garden.

If you find a larger bin difficult to move when full or have very limited space, for £40 a year we will loan you a 140 litre garden waste wheelie bin.

If you already have a permit, you can renew it online.
