More information

To help Swale collect your garden waste, please ensure you have closed the lid of your brown bin. If you can't close it, they won't be able to take it. They will not take any excess garden waste which has not been placed into the brown wheelie bin either.

Assisted bin collections

If you have trouble getting your garden waste bin to the front of your property, you may be eligible for the assisted bin collection service. To apply for assisted bin collections, you will need to call the customer service team on: 01795 417888.
