Sutton residents are being reminded that they have less than three weeks left to qualify for an early bird discount on the cost of their garden waste collections for 2016.
The early bird discount offer runs until 31 January 2016, with £10 off the cost of the garden waste collection service until that date.
The charges for garden waste collections for 2016 are as follows:
| Bin size | Price with early-bird discount (pay by 31 January 2016 to qualify) | Full price for 2016 (if you pay from 1 February 2016) |
| 1 x 240 litre bin | £49 | £59 |
| 1 x 140 litre bin | £44 | £54 |
| 2 x 240 litre bins | £84 | £94 |
The price for 2016 is for 19 fortnightly collections, six more than in 2015.
The garden waste collections will start on Easter Monday, 28 March 2016, and finish on 17 December 2016. Residents will continue to have their garden waste collections on the same day as their recycling collections.
New subscribers can choose from two sizes of green waste bin – the standard-size 240-litre bin for residents with a medium-sized garden or a smaller 140-litre bin for residents with a small garden. Residents with large gardens can have two 240-litre bins for residents with a large garden.
Green waste bins for the new subscribers will be delivered before the service begins.
Carshalton Central’s Cllr Jill Whitehead, Chair of the Environment and Neighbourhoods Committee at Sutton Council, said:
“The new green garden waste service was a great success last year and now we need at least 10,000 residents to pay for the garden waste service before the end of January in order to secure the service for the coming year. Those who do so will secure a £10 discount. We are delighted that more than 7,000 Sutton residents have signed up already but we want to encourage as many more as possible to do so before the end of January.”
