GARDEN WASTE SUBSCIPTION SERVICE
Colchester City Council will be charging for garden waste collection in 2024. This charge has been introduced for the following reasons: To charge only those residents that wish to use the service. To generate income that can be used to offset some cost increases to deliver essential frontline services. The garden waste collection will be an ‘opt in’ service. Residents that want to use it will need to subscribe and pay. The subscription will be an additional payment and is not part of your council tax. There will be a one off £35 joining fee per bin and a £55 annual service fee per bin (your subscription allows up to 4 bins)
