Sutton residents can now pay for garden waste collections for 2016 and save money on next year’s service by receiving an early bird discount.

The charges for garden waste collections for 2016 are as follows:
Bin size Price with early-bird discount (pay by 31 January 2016 to qualify) Full price for 2016 (if you pay from 1 February 2016)
1 x 240 litre bin £49 £59
1 x 140 litre bin £44 £54
2 x 240 litre bins £84 £94
The price for 2016 is for 19 collections, six more than in 2015.
The garden waste collections will start on Easter Monday, 28 March 2016, and finish on 17 December 2016. Residents will continue to have their garden waste collections on the same day as their recycling collections.
Residents wanting to join the scheme or renew their subscription should go HERE, where they can pay for the service by debit card or credit card. New subscribers can choose from two sizes of green waste bin – a 140-litre bin for residents with a small garden, a 240-litre bin for residents with a medium-sized garden, or two 240-litre bins for residents with a large garden. Green waste bins for the new subscribers will be delivered before the service begins.
Cllr Jill Whitehead, Chair of the Environment and Neighbourhoods Committee at Sutton Council, said:
“Last year residents told us they would prefer a paid-for garden waste service rather than no service at all, then 19,000 people endorsed that view by paying for the service, which has been very well received since it was introduced in June.
“However, with this year’s service now ending, we need 10,000 residents to pay for the garden waste service before the end of January in order to secure the service for the coming year. Those who do so will secure a £10 discount. “We are delighted that some 5,000 residents have signed up already but we want to encourage as many more as possible to do so in the coming month.”
