Payments for 2022-2023 garden waste collection service now open

Households who want to have their garden waste collected can now pay for the service for the next 12 months.

The charge for 2022/23 remains frozen at £25 per green bin per year, and the service runs from Monday, September 5, 2022 until Friday, September 1, 2023.

If you paid for garden waste collections last year (2021/22), your green bin(s) will continue to be collected until September 2.

However if you want to continue having your garden waste collected from September 2022, you must renew your payment with the service.

Everyone who signs up will receive a sticker pack with a new sticker, which should be displayed on your bin lid from September.

However Wrexham Council are asking residents to not put their new sticker on their bin lid until the new service starts in September.

Instead residents are asked to continue to display your 2021/22 sticker until that service expires on September 2.

Any unwanted garden waste bins can be removed on request. Once requested it may take a number of weeks for the bin to be collected.

It may be worth keeping hold of your old garden waste bin for now because, if your garden waste bin has been removed and you change your mind in future, there is a charge for a new one.

Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Environment, said: “We’re pleased to be able to freeze the cost of the service until September 2023.

“The £25 per green bin per year charge will keep the cost of the Wrexham service one of the lowest in England and Wales.

“Residents can renew from Monday, June 27, and will need to make sure they have paid for the 2022/23 service by September to avoid missing any collections once the current service expires.”

Payments for the service can be made only. Wrexham Council will not accept cheques or cash as a payment for collections.

Simply visit wrexham.gov.uk/gardenwaste before September to make your payment online. It’s the quickest and easiest way, and you get to do it at a time that suits you. Just make sure you’re signed up by September to avoid missing any collections.

To pay for your green bin to be emptied visit wrexham.gov.uk/gardenwaste. If it isn’t possible for you to pay online you can call Streetscene to make a card payment, but you are likely to experience a wait if you do so.
