Garden waste collections will resume after the Winter Break from the week commencing 17th February 2025 until 30th March 2025 for those who signed up to last years' season. Please be aware that your brown bin collection day will remain the same as it was before the winter break.

For 2025, we will collect your garden waste on alternate weeks, either on your green bin week or recycling bin week, from week commencing 31st March 2025.

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

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.

Bin charges:

In the event that your brown bin is damaged through your neglect, misuse, general wear and tear, e.g. being overloaded or due to age, the cost of replacement will be £44.10 + £10 delivery fee. Please call our customer service team on 01205 314 200 and they will be able to take payment over the phone with you.

If your bin falls into the back of the lorry during collection, and this has been reported by a refuse operative, we will either repair or replace it free of charge as soon as operationally possible. If you believe this to have happened to your bin, please contact the Garden Waste Team on 01205314200 or please email gardenwaste@boston.gov.uk.

If you don't have a large garden, an alternative way to deal with your garden waste is home composting. Click on this link for more information getcomposting.com or you can take your green waste to one of the County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
