New cost of garden waste collection announced for Lancaster and Morecambe area

Residents who would like their garden waste collected will have to pay a little more for the service in 2023/24.

Lancaster City Council has announced that the cost of their garden waste collection service has risen by £1 - from £40 to £41 for the year.

Residents who want to avoid several trips to the tip to dispose of their garden waste can subscribe online to the service.

A council spokesperson said: "The cost of the service has remained at £40 per bin per year since 2018. 

"However, due to a rise in the cost of delivering the service, the charge will increase to £41 for the 2023/24 service which runs from April 1 2023 to March 31 2024."

Residents already subscribed to the service will receive reminder letters and emails over the coming weeks with instructions on how to subscribe online to next year’s service, quickly and conveniently.

Anyone wanting to register now for the council’s 2023/24 garden waste collection service can do so by visiting the website here. 

Those who are unable to register online, will be able to do so from Monday, February 6, by calling the council’s customer service team, telephone 01524 582491.  Subscriptions by phone will not be taken until this time.

For current customers who no longer wish to use the service, subscriptions will simply cease on March 31 and they will no longer receive garden waste collections.
