    Garden Waste Collection Service

    garden waste bagsNo need to spend your weekends queuing at your local tip to dispose of your garden waste - EHDC provides a service for collecting your garden waste from the kerbside.

    The collections are fortnightly on the same day as your recycling, but by a different vehicle. You will need an East Hampshire District Council reusable durable woven plastic sack measuring 61cm X 48cm X 48cm (2’ X 1’6” X 1’6”) to put your garden waste in.

    The annual charge is £25 for the first licence and £12.50 for subsequent licences, with a discount for those receiving Council Tax Benefit or Housing Benefit. You also need to buy sacks to go with your licence and these are £5 each.

    What CAN go in the sack

    grass cuttings
    hedge cuttings
    weeds
    small branches
    leaves (small amounts)
    prunings
    Max. weight: 25kg

    What CANNOT go in the sack

    soil/concrete/rubble
    vegetable peelings
    food scraps
    coal ash
    animal waste
    commercial waste
    general household waste

    All garden waste collected by the reusable sack scheme is composted to make ‘Pro-Grow’, an organic soil conditioner, which you can buy at your local tip (Household Waste Recycling Centre).
