Denbighshire County Council is increasing the price of its fortnightly green waste collection service.
From January
18 subscription rates for the green bin garden waste service will rise "to
bring the service closer to a self-financing model," says the council.
The new cost
of the standard service will be £30 and the cost of the enhanced service will
be £45.
These new
charges will come into force on Monday, January 18 and will apply to all
transactions made on or after that date.
Cllr Brian
Jones, the council’s Lead member for Waste, Transport and the Environment,
said: “We have made the difficult decision to increase the subscription rates
to move it towards a self-financing service as part of a wider need to identify
budget savings within the Council.
“Moving to a
self-financed service means garden waste collection is delivered under a fairer
system where it is being paid for only by those using the service.
“Denbighshire
will continue to offer a value for money service which operates all year round,
with 26 collections a year. Garden waste can also be taken to the county’s
household waste recycling centres for free throughout the year.”
Garden waste
is not allowed in residents’ black bins and black bins containing garden waste
will not be emptied.
Existing
customers have had their subscription automatically extended after the stoppage
of the garden waste service during the spring of 2020 due to coronavirus.
