Regristrations for this year’s licence, which runs from March 1 2024 to February 28 2025, are now open for a price of £49 per bin.

Cllr Andrew McHugh, portfolio holder for cleaner and greener communities, said: “As we begin to see the return of clearer weather, many will be starting to get out into their gardens and making the most of the crisp air and longer days.

“I know that being more climate aware and taking proactive steps to reducing their carbon footprint is becoming more and more important to people, and our garden waste service is a reliable and cost-effective way to dispose of garden clippings in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.”
