Your 2025-26 sticker

If you are renewing your subscription, please do not cover your 2025-26 sticker. 

You will still need this as proof of your current subscription until the new subscription year starts on 1 July 2026.

This sticker must be placed on the back of your garden waste bin, underneath the handles.

To ensure your bin is collected

Place it at the kerbside with the sticker clearly visible to collection crews.

Only bins displaying a valid sticker will be emptied.
