Garden Waste Collection Service
Service Updates
MHDC were unable to collect garden bins from the Taylors Lane estate, Broomhall on Friday due to roadworks.
We will recollect brown bins by Friday 13th June, providing our vehicle can access the road.
Please ensure your brown bin (and any reasonable amount of side waste) is presented at the usual boundary collection point by 7am from Monday onwards, and we will rectify this for you.
You can report most issues via the MHDC website or alternatively you can email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The Garden Waste service has an annual renewal, each customer will have an anniversary date, meaning whenever in the year you join the service, you will receive a year's worth of collections.
- You can have as many bins as required - (if you order a second/third bin with a different renewal date, your anniversary for both bins will be in the middle of the two dates. e.g. one bin renewed on 01/02 and one bin on 01/06, your renewal date will be 01/04.)
- One-off fee for a full year service
- No bin delivery charge
Please note: Payments must be made up front and in full, one off collections are not available and we do not offer refunds for cancelled services.
Customers who cancel their service and fail to make their bin available for removal may be charged £50
If you have any questions or issues regarding the service, please email
