Since February 2007 residents of Runnymede Borough Council have been prohibited from disposing of their green garden waste in their wheeled bins.

Options for the disposal of green waste are:-

Compost as much of your garden waste as you can. Phone Recyclenow on 0845 077 0757 for information on bargain priced composters, or visit their website on www.recyclenow.com/compost for further details.

Take your green garden waste to one of the local Community Recycling Centres. The two closest sites are in Lyne Lane Lyne, Chertsey, KT16 0RA and Martyrs Lane, Woking, GU21 5NJ.

(Please note Martyrs Lane will be closed to the public from Monday 12 July for approximately 22 weeks, while improvements take place).

Save yourself the bother of taking your waste to the Recycling Centres, waiting in queues, cleaning the car afterwards, by subscribing to Runnymede Borough Council's Green Waste Collection Scheme. Subscribers are provided with green bags or 240L green wheeled bins which are emptied every two weeks.

Wheeled bins must be purchased separately at £34 and therefore are yours to keep. See below the annual charge to have the bin/bags emptied.

Contact The Runnymede Recycling Hotline on 0800 052 0067 for pro-rata rates for April 2009 to March 2010 before sending in your completed form.
