Hillingdon Council are proposing a change to garden waste collection service to make it more sustainable. The proposed change would see the introduction of a £70 charge for 2025/26 for the collection of a household’s garden waste. The charge would support the running costs of the service and ensure it’s paid for by those using it – rather than the cost being shared by all taxpayers, including those without gardens.
Garden waste collection service would continue to offer residents:
• better value for money than neighbouring boroughs through a cheaper rate per collection
• weekly collections in spring, summer and autumn
• greater capacity of collected garden waste than other boroughs.
Residents without a subscription would still be able to take their garden waste to civic amenity sites for free.

The consultation is open until Monday 31 March, and a decision will be made in the spring.
