Introduction of New Hillingdon Council Garden Waste charge

Dear Resident,

Hillingdon Council has confirmed that it will now charge for garden waste collections. From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have paid the £70 annual fee.

Further details, including how to register and pay for the service, can be found on the Council’s website.

This is an extract of the email note sent by Hillingdon to residents of Hillingdon;

“From Monday 7 July, garden waste will only be collected from residents who have subscribed to our new fee-based collections. 

Subscribers will receive weekly household collections in spring, summer and autumn (fortnightly in winter) and a 270-litre capacity per collection (three 90-litre canvas sacks) as standard*, for a £70 annual fee.  

You can register now. Once you sign up, you’ll be sent three green tags to attach to the handles of your current canvas sacks to confirm your subscription.

We are already receiving high numbers of subscriptions and, due to manufacturer logistical issues, there’s a chance some tag deliveries may be delayed. However, our crews are able to check all households that have subscribed in real-time during their rounds, so if you’ve not received your tags when your collection is due, please write your house number on your sacks in permanent marker and they will be collected.

*An additional three sacks and three tags can be requested via the council website if required. ”
