To receive a garden waste service from 1st April 2021, Stratford District Council have introduced an annual charge of £40 per bin (agreed last year but delayed by a year due to Covid-19). If you do not subscribe to this service your green waste will no longer be removed on a fortnightly basis.
If you decide that you do need your green bin, why not, before subscribing, consider whether you can club together with your neighbours to share a one and therefore share the cost.
SDC are offering an early bird rate of £35 for residents who subscribe before 28th February 2021. Here is the link to subscribe to the service.
