Garden waste

Waste from your garden can be composted at home or collected by Medway Council. Check out our composting page to find out more about how to compost at home.

Garden waste is collected from homes in Medway every fortnight on the same day as rubbish for landfill is collected. The garden waste collection is made on the opposite week from the recycling collection. Once collected garden waste is turned into a rich soil conditioner.

You can put out garden waste in a brown bin or brown sack. You can also use other coloured sacks for garden waste as long as they are not blue or black. Please leave other sacks untied so it is easy for us to check what is in the sack when it is picked up. For more information visit this page.

If you have a brown wheelie bin we will collect two additional sacks of garden waste. If you do not have a brown wheelie bin, we will collect up to four sacks of garden waste per collection.

Brown sacks are available on request from the council using the contact details at the bottom of this page.

What can be recycled in your brown bin/bag?
