Garden waste disposal subscriptions are due in Taunton now that Spring is in the air!
Reminder letters and emails are on their way to 50,000 green-fingered subscribers from district councils. But there is no need to wait, you can log-on now and sign-up for the coming year.
Subscriptions can be renewed through the Somerset Waste Partnership (SWP) website (somersetwaste.gov.uk/garden-waste-collections) and our online payment system is the quickest and easiest way to renew.
Due to the Covid disruption to collections last year, current subscriptions were extended. Renewed and new subscriptions will run for 12 months from 10 May this year.
To guarantee uninterrupted collections you need to renew by Friday, 7 May.
This year SWP are going stickerless for the first time thanks to new technology.
Stickers will no longer be issued for bin lids, with the crews instead using in-cab tech and real-time information to know who has subscribed and needs a collection.
The 25-collection annual service costs £57.20.
New subscribers can sign up at any time but will not get a service until their first scheduled collection after 10 May.
Cannot wait until then? A 10-pack of garden waste sacks cost £28.30 from 1 April. These can be ordered, and collections requested, via the My Waste Services menu on the Somerset Waste website.
To keep up to date with waste services, sign up for the SWP e-newsletter and don’t forget to visit the Tone News website.
