Huntingdonshire District Council is encouraging residents to take advantage of an Early Bird discount if they subscribe to the new Garden Waste Subscription Service by 31 January 2024.
The annual charge for the first green bin will be £57.50, but if residents sign up by Wednesday 31 January 2024, then they can take advantage of an Early Bird offer which makes the cost of the first bin £50. If residents choose to pay for the service by Direct Debit, the reduced price will continue for a minimum of three years which means the cost will be £50 a year for three years. Additional bins will continue to cost £30 each.
Those who subscribe to the fortnightly service will receive a sticker to put on their bin and collection crews will have devices to check the collection service has been paid for. Only bins displaying the sticker will be emptied.
Simply sign up and pay online by visiting the District Council’s website or alternatively, call 01480 388584. Those who choose not to join the subscription service can dispose of their garden waste by taking it to their nearest Cambridgeshire County Council Household Waste Recycling Centre or compost at home instead.
Residents can also purchase discounted compost bins via the council’s website: https://www.huntingdonshire.gov.uk/bins-waste/additional-garden-waste-bin-and-composting/
Residents can find out more information about the forthcoming Garden Waste Subscription Service, as well as sign up to catch the Early Bird on the council’s website: Garden Waste Subscription Service – Huntingdonshire.gov.uk or they can call 01480 388584.
