August bank holiday refuse collections


| FROM LBH Our crews will begin collections on Monday 7 July. You can check your collection date on our website. Garden waste sacks will only be collected from properties that have subscribed. As part of your subscription, you will be sent three green tags to make it easier to identify your garden waste collection sacks. Please write your address clearly on each tag using permanent ink and attach one to each sack. Watch our short video below, to see how to attach your tags correctly (opens in a new window). |
We’re getting in touch to let you know about a change to our garden waste collection service. . From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have subscribed to our new fee-based collections. Subscribers will receive weekly household collections in spring, summer and autumn (fortnightly in winter) and a 270-litre capacity per collection (three 90-litre canvas sacks) as standard*, for a £70 annual fee. You can register now. Once you sign up, you’ll be sent three green tags to attach to the handles of your current canvas sacks to confirm your subscription. We are already receiving high numbers of subscriptions and, due to manufacturer logistical issues, there’s a chance some tag deliveries may be delayed. However, our crews are able to check all households that have subscribed in real-time during their rounds, so if you’ve not received your tags when your collection is due, please write your house number on your sacks in permanent marker and they will be collected. *An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required. |
| You should all by now have received the flyer about the new scheme – however the only way indicated to register is online at: https://www.hillingdon.gov.uk/article/14619/Subscribe-to-our-garden-waste-collection-service This totally ignores those who do not have access to the internet . Should they wish to take part in the scheme then we have to assume they will need to contact the civic centre by phone on 01895 250111 as no alternatives are given Please if you have any elderly neighbours speak to them about this and ensure they know what is going on. Thank you. |
