Residents are reminded that June 30 is the deadline to renew their garden waste bin collections.

The cost of garden waste collection stays the same at £50 per bin for the year, as current subscriptions are set to expire on June 30.

New customers can also sign up through the Wiltshire Council website or by calling 0300 456 0103.

Cabinet member for waste, Mark McClelland, Cabinet Member for Waste said, "All of the garden waste collected in Wiltshire is composted locally, which helps reduce pollution and and stops it going to landfill.

"From April 2020 to March 2021 we collected more than 30,000 tonnes of garden waste from over 82,000 households in Wiltshire."
