Denbighshire's garden waste subscription service will reopen to residents on Monday, 3 March 2025 with a revised payment structure which comes into effect from 1 April 2025.
The Council is encouraging residents who are subscribing for the first time to do this in good time to ensure their container can be delivered in time for 1 April and to take full advantage of the 12-month service.
Those residents who have an existing subscription which extends beyond 1 April, will only pay a proportion of the 12-month subscription fee - from their renewal date to 31 March 2026. You can see the new charges below.
The revised subscription service will run for a 12-month period from 1 April to 31 March each year.
The cost for our garden waste collection service depends on the number of containers you use and how you subscribe - it's cheaper if you subscribe online.
