Pay for garden waste collection service - existing customers

How you can pay for your garden waste service if you are an existing customer.

Council Tax and Business Rates Direct Debits

Due to a technical issue Direct Debit payments for Council Tax and Business Rates which would normally be taken on 15 August have been collected a day early.

We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused during this time.
 

What's happening

If you have a Direct Debit set up to pay your Council Tax or Business Rates on the 15th of each month you'll find that our bank has taken the payment a day early this month. This means that our bank has taken the payment today (14 August) rather than on 15 August.
 

What to do

If this will cause you a problem or if you would like any advice on what to do please contact us.

Telephone: 01799 510510

Find information about Direct Debits on the Direct Debit website.

Cost

The service costs £50 for the year.

If you receive Local Council Tax Support (LCTS) you will be eligible for a 25 percent reduction on the service charge. This will mean that you just need to pay £37.50.

There's no discount if you renew your subscription part of the way through the year.

Example
If you renew in October, you will need to pay £50 (or £37.50 for LCTS claimants). You will still only get your garden waste collected until 31 May 2024.
