Sign up to garden waste collections for 2025/26

If, like thousands of others, you’ve enjoyed the convenience of our garden waste collection service, it is now the time to renew your subscription. 

Last year we cancelled Direct Debits and moved to secure online card payments which means all subscribers need to actively sign up each year. 

Please renew your subscription by visiting canterbury.gov.uk/garden. 

For those who can’t sign up online, you can do so over the phone by calling 01227 868 556. 

Crews now use in-cab technology to manage collection rounds to see who has signed up and paid, so no stickers will be issued again this year.  

Waste will continue to be collected fortnightly starting at the beginning of April 2025 and ending in March 2026, with a short break between the end of December and the end of January. 

This means there will be a gap of a couple of weeks between the current subscription year ending and the new one starting between mid-March and early April. 

The annual cost for this year is set at £58.92 for the first bin and £46.45 for each additional garden waste bin at your property.
