Sandwell Council’s garden waste service will start from next week (10 March).
There’s still time to sign up for this year’s collections.
Residents can sign up to the garden waste collection service by completing the online subscription. The service costs £40 which covers up to 20 collections of garden waste, ending in December 2025.
Collections will begin over a two-week period, with week one commencing on 10 March and week 2 on 17 March 2025. Residents can find more information about when their bins will be collected.
Subscribers will receive a maximum of 20 collections depending on when they subscribe. If a resident subscribes part way through the year, the permit will only cover the number of collections remaining until December.
Households that signed up for the collections in 2024 will have to renew their subscription to receive garden waste collections in 2025. 2024 permit stickers will have to be replaced with the new 2025 permit sticker.
Those who have subscribed to the service will receive a permit sticker to attach to their garden waste bin. Residents who take out more than one subscription will need to attach a permit to each bin.
It can take up to 5 days for a subscription to activate on the system, so if you sign up less than five days before the next collection, residents will not get their first collection until the next scheduled collection date.
