● Register Online For Garden Waste Recycling Service: Gardeners can register now for Bridgend County Borough Council’s garden waste collection service which is returning this spring.

Fortnightly collections will make it possible to recycle garden waste including plants, flowers, weeds, grass, leaves and hedge clippings.

Collections will begin from Monday, March 16 and will continue up until Friday, November 13. There is currently an annual charge of £38.30 per household, or £34.30 for pensioners.

Once payment is confirmed, households will be supplied with two reusable bags for their garden waste together with details of when their bags will be collected. Any returning customers who indicate that they don’t need any new bags will just be sent a calendar showing when their collections will be made.

The subscription fee covers the collection of two garden waste bags – any households who would like to be able to put out more garden waste bags each fortnight have the option of paying an additional £5 per extra bag.

The easiest way to subscribe is to do so online at https:// bridgend.kier.co.uk. Fifty of the online applicants will be selected at random to receive a free service for 2020.

In 2019 a total of 946 tonnes of garden waste was collected from households, taken to local firm Cowbridge Compost and turned into a compost fertilizer.

Garden waste can also be taken to the ‘tip’ at the household recycling centres in Tythegston, Brynmenyn Industrial Estate and the Heol Ty Gwyn Industrial Estate in Maesteg. For more details please visit Home – Recycle for Bridgend
