Garden Waste Collection Charges

Bradford Council are introducing charges for the collection of garden waste from 1 June 2016.  Go to https://www.bradford.gov.uk/bmdc/recycling_and_waste/gardenbin. to find out more.

The scheme opened for payments on 1 April 2016 and to date 13,000 licences have been purchased.

So far we have not been able to accept payments by cash or cheque but work is currently underway to allow the Paypoint system to be used to allow these payments, which I know has been a concern for many of you.

This facility should be available within the next two weeks and until then Customer Services are recording enquirers’ details so they can be re-contacted when the system is live. I should hopefully be able to provide you with an exact date early next week.

Any resident who contacts the Council before the 15 May ‘discount deadline day’ requesting a cash/cheque payment will be able to pay at the discounted rate of £28.
