Peacey-Wilcox: We make your gardening life easier
Councillor Lora Peacey-Wilcox, Cabinet lead for waste said,
“We come to you and continue to make your gardening life easier. You won’t have to put heavy and wet garden waste in your car boot.
“Now is the time to re-subscribe for your garden waste service so it can be picked up from your doorstep, and means no more trips the tip with bugs and spiders in your car; and the bins are definitely much easier for brambles and rose bushes – much fewer scratches.”
Dix: All garden waste collected is composted locally
Service Director for Waste, Environment and Planning, Natasha Dix, said,
“Our garden waste scheme is popular, and we are reminding our current customers to make sure they renew annual subscriptions to reserve their space for this year.
“All garden waste collected by the council is composted locally here on the Island and all of this contributes to our national recycling targets.
“Our garden waste service is a ‘one-stop shop’ meaning you do not have to call for collection each time and we will be there come rain or shine.
“We will also be accepting new customers from 20th February.”
What can be collected
The council will accept garden waste such as grass cuttings, leaves and sticks. Please no logs, rubble or soil. The garden waste subscription also includes a free Christmas tree collection service in January.

The subscription will run from 1 April to 31 March each year, apart from the initial registration period.
