\n\t\t\tSILHILLIANS are being reminded to renew or subscribe for the 2026-27 garden waste collection year.<\/p>\n
The garden waste service provides collections for residents to dispose of their garden waste, which includes grass and hedge cutting, leaves, twigs and weeds.<\/p>\n
The curent collection year expire on June 30.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The annual cost for the service has been frozen at \u00a349.<\/p>\n
New permits for 2026-27 can take up to 10-15 working days to arrive.<\/p>\n
Permits must be stuck onto the back of the green garden waste bin, underneath the handles, in time for the new collection year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nSolihull Council said: \u201cTo 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf 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.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t put garden waste into your other bins \u2013 it must be kept separate, or it can\u2019t be collected.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Signing up to the service is optional.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Neighbours can also share a bin, and costs.<\/p>\n
Anyone who is unable to pay online should contact Solihull Connect on 0121 704 8000 or visit one of the walk-in centres.<\/p>\n
