Garden Waste Collections
For information on when your garden waste collection day is, please use the following link: Find Your Bin Collection Day or email gardenwaste@boston.gov.uk
For 2024, we will collect your garden waste on alternate weeks, either on your green bin week or recycling bin week, between week commencing 1st April 2024 and week ending 22nd November 2024.Your garden waste collection will then resume 17th February 2025 until 30th March 2025.
Grass cuttings, leaves, hedge and shrub trimmings, weeds and plants can all go in the brown bin.
Garden waste must not be bagged, it should be placed loosely into your brown bin. We also do not accept garden waste as side waste alongside your bin.
Top tip: To try prevent grass cuttings from getting stuck at the bottom of the bin you can place a small amount of newspaper in the bottom of your bin as a liner.
Bin charges:
If your original brown bin is damaged and you have received a free replacement bin previously, the cost of replacement will be £42.40 and there will be a £10 delivery charge. If you have not received a free replacement before, your garden waste bin may be replaced free of charge at the discretion of the Garden Waste Team.
If your bin falls into the back of the lorry during collection, please email gardenwaste@boston.gov.uk or contact us on 01205 314200 and we will issue you with a free replacement bin.
If you don't have a large garden, an alternative way to deal with your garden waste is home composting. Click on this link for more information getcomposting.com or you can take your green waste to one of the County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
