The garden waste collection service makes a significant contribution to Cheltenham's recycling rate. You can subscribe to the service by ordering and paying in advance for one year. For the duration of the subscription, you will receive a brown wheeled bin in which to keep your garden waste. The brown bin is emptied fortnightly, on the alternate week to your kerbside recycling box.

How the scheme works
If you opt into the scheme you will be issued with a 240 litre brown wheeled bin for your garden waste. The brown bins will be emptied fortnightly. A bin will be delivered within 10 days of payment being taken and it is possible to join the scheme at any time in the year on a 12 month contract. Only garden waste contained within the bin will be collected from the kerbside. Any additional garden waste can be taken to the recycling centre on Swindon Road. Please ensure you put the brown bin out by 7am on the day of collection.
Please remember that garden waste must not be put in the green refuse bins. Green refuse bins containing garden waste may not be collected and you may be asked to remove the garden waste before a collection can be made. We will contact you after 11 months to inform you that your subscription is due for renewal.
Your renewal date is set as the first of the month after your bin was delivered. If you move house within Cheltenham, please inform us of your new address details, and take the brown bin with you when you move. If you are moving outside the borough, again please contact us and we will arrange for collection of the brown bin.
