Garden Waste Service 2020/21

With a simple click, you can make this growing season’s gardening duties that much easier by signing up for brown bin garden waste collections.

For just £1.15 per week (£45 for a complete growing season’s single bin collection) Boston Borough Council will take your garden waste away every fortnight from when you sign up to the end of November and then again from the end of February, 2021, to the end of March, 2021.

Grass cuttings, leaves, hedge and shrub trimmings, weeds and plants can all go in the brown bin.

Please note that collections for the new 2020/21 growing season began at the beginning of April, but you can still sign up to the service. 

Unfortunately due to the current circumstances, there is a delay in posting out the stickers. We do not know at this time when these stickers are to be posted. Please could you write your house name or number directly beneath the handles of your brown bin for our refuse crew to visibly see. Our refuse vehicles are fitted with in-cab technology which allows them to see which residents have subscribed to the service. We will keep all residents informed of when we are able to post out their sticker(s).

If you do not wish to sign up online, you can call into our main reception to pay or call our designated garden waste payment line on 01205 311112.

Garden waste must not be bagged, it should be placed loosely into your brown bin. We also do not accept garden waste as side waste alongside your bin.

Top tip: To try prevent grass cuttings from getting stuck at the bottom of the bin you can place a small amount of newspaper in the bottom of your bin as a liner.
