Green Waste Collection Service

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

Options for the disposal of green waste are:-

1. Compost as much of your garden waste as you can.  Phone Recyclenow on 0845 076 0223 for information on bargain priced composters, or visit their website on www.recyclenow.com/compost for further details.
2. 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.

3. 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. It costs £20 for one bag per annum, £35 for two bags and £40 for three, from 1 April 2009 to 31 March 2010.  Residents who wish to join the scheme during the year should ring the Recycling Hotline on Freephone 0800 052 0067  to obtain the correct pro rata charge.
   
   You can also use the Recycling Hotline number 0800 052 0067 to request direct debit forms should you wish to may monthly, quarterly or annually.  Payment by credit or debit card can also be made over the phone on the Hotline number.
