Collection season and festive changes

The paid garden-waste service normally operates fortnightly. Collection dates are address-specific and appear in the council calendar only for subscribed properties; check it for Christmas and bank-holiday changes.

Container options

Use the council-approved garden-waste container and present it at the collection point by 7am. Keep garden waste loose, within the container and free from soil, rubble, food and household rubbish.

Renewal and service dates

Wiltshire reviews the subscription charge periodically. Because the current public form did not expose a stable price in the checked guidance, confirm the live fee and service end date before ordering or renewing.

Concessions and payment support

The checked public application did not state a standard concession. Confirm any current support or alternative payment arrangements directly in the council process before paying.

When are your bins next due?

If your garden-waste collection is missed

Check the basics. Check the subscribed address’s calendar, presentation time, contents and any crew-reported reason. Use Wiltshire’s missed-bin/container form promptly for a genuine miss.
Use the official reporting route. Reporting windows differ, so follow the live council instructions rather than waiting for the next collection.
