Increase in Cost of Garden Waste Collection!
The cost of subscribing to have your garden waste collected in the North Devon district will rise in April 2023, councillors have agreed.
North Devon Council has approved an increase in the charge for collecting garden waste to ensure the full costs are met by those receiving the service and that residents that do not have a garden waste collection are not contributing to the service through their council tax.
The new subscription charge will be £55 per year per bin, which equates to an increase of just 40 pence per collection.
The garden wheelie bin can be used to dispose of:
Real Christmas trees - chopped up
Bark
Hedge clippings
Grass cuttings
Weeds
Cut flowers
Plants (no soil)
Windfalls
Untreated sawdust
Wood shavings
Clean straw
