Residents can now renew or join the Rushcliffe garden waste service for hassle free green collections!
Rushcliffe Borough Council’s (RBC) garden waste service is now open for new and existing customers that gives gardeners regular green bin collections for less than 95p a week.
All customers can sign up or re-subscribe now on the RBC website and emails and letters inviting residents to re-join the service will be distributed shortly.
Residents can place grass cuttings, hedge clippings, twigs and small branches, weeds with excess soil shaken off, flowers, plants, leaves and bark in their green bins to help keep your garden looking fantastic in 2026.
The garden waste scheme helps remove the need for costly additional time consuming trips to the recycling centre, a great way for residents become more ‘Carbon Clever’, reducing their carbon footprint.
Households can also manage their garden waste collections with MyAccount, a one stop shop for many Council services.
It means they can sign up, pay for additional green bins for their property and check when their next green bin collection is due, all in the same place.
RBC’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Environment and Safety Cllr Rob Inglis said: “Our garden waste service continues to offer excellent value for money. It’s far cheaper than private collection options and helps residents avoid unnecessary trips to the Household Waste Recycling Centre, saving both time and fuel.
“We encourage residents to sign up through MyAccount, where you can easily manage your garden waste collection and report issues such as missed bins or overgrown hedges with just a few clicks. We also have a list of frequently asked questions available on our website to help residents find quick answers and understand the service in more detail.
“All the green waste we collect is recycled and reused at a facility in Oxton, just outside the Borough, ensuring the service is not only convenient but environmentally responsible too.”
The service costs £49 which entitles green-fingered residents to year-round fortnightly collections apart from a short period over Christmas and New Year and extra bins cost £44 each.
After applying to the scheme, residents will be issued with a sticker which is placed onto the rear of the bin to identify that it has been paid for to help our waste collection operatives.
