Winter break for green bin collections
Green bin collections are to be adjusted to when they are used the most.
The service will be paused throughout the winter when less gardening waste is created.
Currently green bins are collected fortnightly all year round except for a short break over the festive period.
Green bins have become a popular additional opt-in service for residents with 28,000 households the recipient of the garden waste bin.
This service, which is limited to one green bin per household, does not incur an additional cost to residents unlike many of the neighbouring local authorities, which also have a hiatus over the winter months.
Green bin collection will stop for the winter from Monday 22 November.
Collections will begin again on Monday 21 March, 2022.
Green waste is waste produced from a resident’s garden including grass cuttings, hedge and shrub trimmings, small branches and twigs, flowers, small plants and weeds.
The green waste is taken to the Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre where it is transferred to composting facilities in Bracknell, to produce high quality compost products.

Green waste can be taken to Chalvey Household Waste and Recycling Centre at any time of the year.
