Correction to Aylesbury Vale Times garden waste collection dates

Easter weekend has been printed wrongly in the garden waste section of page 12 
of the Aylesbury Vale Times.

Any garden waste collections which would have taken place on Easter Monday, the 28 March, 
will now take place on Saturday 2 April.

Garden waste collections on Monday 4 April will still happen and remain unaffected.

The revised dates for the May bank holiday garden waste collections are correct, 
as are the revised dates for Good Friday collections of normal waste.

We apologise for the error and any confusion it may cause.

How does the service work?

We provide a large brown wheeled bin that we empty fortnightly between February
and November.
We will collect your garden waste bin on the Monday of the same week as your
household waste bin.

New Customers

You can sign up to the service via the Aylesbury Vale My Account at any time of the year.
Your service will automatically continue each year unless you ask us to cancel it.

How much does the garden waste service cost?

One annual payment of £38, payable by direct debit. (on Friday 1 April the price
will increase to £40)

A £4.50 admin fee will be applied to any other payment method.

What can I put in my garden waste bin?

• grass and hedge cuttings
• garden plants and fallen fruit
• leaves
• small branches and twigs (up to wrist thickness – about 10cm)
• tree and shrub prunings
• most weeds, except noxious weeds such as :
• Japanese Knotweed, Ragwort and Giant Hogweed

How much garden waste will you collect?

You can order up to six garden waste bins per household (each bin is charged separately).

If you don’t think you’ll fill a bin each fortnight, consider sharing it with a neighbour.
We’ll register the account with one resident and collect from that address.

How else can I dispose of my garden waste?

You can compost garden waste at home or take it to your local Household Waste and 
Recycling Centre.

Please don’t put garden waste in your household waste bin.

Report a missed collection

If we’ve missed your bin, let us know within 24 hours of your collection date and we’ll
empty it that same week.
