 Councillor Nicola Gribble, Portfolio Holder for Environment, said, “We’re delighted to restart our green garden waste collections, an important service that helps residents manage their garden waste sustainably. Despite current financial pressures and cuts to council funding nationally, we’ve committed to keeping this valued service for our residents. I’d like to thank everyone for continuing to recycle and dispose of waste responsibly, helping us keep Bedford Borough clean and green.”
This service benefits those lucky enough to have a garden or green space at home, offering a simple way to recycle garden waste and support the Borough’s environmental goals.
Accepted items include grass, plants, weeds, flowers, hedge clippings, leaves and bark. Please don’t put soil, rubble, food waste, or large branches in your green bin, as these may cause your collection to be rejected. |
Extra garden waste left next to your green-lidded bin will not be collected. If you have more garden waste than fits in your bin, there are convenient alternatives.
