Garden Waste
Uttlesford District Council has teamed up with Essex County Council and Recycle Now to offer you the opportunity to buy compost bins, which are made from 100 per cent recycled plastic, at bargain prices.
Alternatively residents who have access, or are local to Saffron Walden, can take advantage of the Recycling Centre for Household Waste to deposit their garden waste.
For residents who do not have access to Saffron Walden, Uttlesford District Council provides weekend drop-off points, at various locations and times across the district. If your parish is not listed then you are welcome to visit a location nearest to you.
