Hounslow Council have opened applications for residents to sign up to the Garden Waste Collection Service. 

Recycle 360 will be carrying out fortnightly collections of garden waste, starting on 1st April 2023 and running until 31st March 2024, and residents can have their waste removed. 

The service costs £65 for the whole year, or £32.50 if you receive Council Tax Reduction, and you will receive a 240-litre brown bin to store your garden waste in before it is collected. 

Hounslow Council Cabinet Member for Environment, Highways and Operational Services, Councillor Guy Lambert, said: "Year on year, the Council is determined to provide a low cost and convenient service for our residents.  

"We have made the difficult decision to increase the cost of the service this year, in line with the rising costs of inflation.  

"We remain committed to offering a value for money service to our residents. I am conscious that this is an unwelcome increase at a time when making ends meet is difficult for many Hounslow residents but our charges are still low given the increased costs we have to deal with, particularly fuel. 

"Providing a 'no hassle', fortnightly collection service to help residents dispose of garden waste and cuttings is just one example of Hounslow's commitment to tackling climate change and creating a greener and cleaner borough for us all."
