Households that pay to receive the Isle of Wight Council’s Green Garden Waste collection service will be able to renew their subscription from tomorrow (Monday).
Current customers are being given priority to renew their garden waste subscription which runs from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.
If you pay by direct debit, this should automatically renew, and you will receive an email confirming your payment details for 2023. You can double check payment details are up to date here: www.iow.gov.uk/
If you pay annually by card, you’ll shortly receive an email with details on how to re-subscribe, so please check your emails, including your junk folder.
The optional fortnightly scheme lets customers subscribe online for a 240-litre wheeled bin or three reusable hessian sacks to be picked up from the kerbside for a total cost of £96 per year, working out at £8 a month.
Councillor Karen Lucioni, cabinet lead for waste, said:
“Let us come to you and continue to make your gardening life easier by re-subscribing for your garden waste collection this year.
"It will be picked up from your doorstep, and it takes the hassle out of driving to the tip. You also won’t have to put heavy and wet garden waste in your car boot.”
Strategic Manager for Environment, Natasha Dix, said:
“Our garden waste scheme is popular, and we are reminding our current customers to make sure they renew annual subscriptions to reserve their space for this year.
“All garden waste that is collected by the council is composted locally here on the Island; in the last year we have recycled a massive 4,005 tons— all of this contributes to the Island's national recycling targets.
“Our garden waste service is a ‘one-stop shop’ meaning you do not have to call for collection each time and we will be there come rain or shine.
"We will also be accepting new customers from February 23.”
The council will accept garden waste such as grass cuttings, leaves and sticks - but no logs, rubble or soil. The garden waste subscription also includes a free Christmas tree collection service in January.
For more information on your subscription and how to renew, please visit: www.iow.gov.uk/
The subscription will run from April 1 to March 31 each year, apart from the initial registration period.
If you are planning on signing up for the first time, new subscribers are being accepted from February 23, for full details on the service please visit: https://www.iow.gov.uk/
Subscription renewals start tomorrow (Monday 16).
