SILHILLIANS are being reminded to renew or subscribe for the 2026-27 garden waste collection year.
The garden waste service provides collections for residents to dispose of their garden waste, which includes grass and hedge cutting, leaves, twigs and weeds.
The curent collection year expire on June 30.
And anyone who wishes for it to continue, or set up a service, from July 1 to June 30, 2027, needs to renew or subscribe.
The annual cost for the service has been frozen at £49.
New permits for 2026-27 can take up to 10-15 working days to arrive.
Permits must be stuck onto the back of the green garden waste bin, underneath the handles, in time for the new collection year.
Solihull Council said: “To ensure your bin is collected, simply place it at the kerbside with the permit clearly visible to collection crews. Only bins displaying a valid permit will be emptied.
“If you are renewing your subscription, do not cover your 2025-26 permit. You will need this as proof of your current subscription until the new subscription year starts.
“Please don’t put garden waste into your other bins – it must be kept separate, or it can’t be collected.”
Signing up to the service is optional.
Residents can also dispose of their garden waste by taking it to the household waste and recycling centre at Bickenhill, or by using a compost bin.
Neighbours can also share a bin, and costs.
Anyone who is unable to pay online should contact Solihull Connect on 0121 704 8000 or visit one of the walk-in centres.
