All garden waste collected goes to a composting site in Hampshire and is made into organic soil conditioner, widely used in local parks and formal gardens. You should try to compost as much of your garden and kitchen waste as possible, as this is better for the environment and saves on fuel and transportation costs.
If you wish to have extra garden waste collected you can purchase additional garden waste bins. These additional bins will be emptied fortnightly with your current service by Winchester City Council.
If you require additional bins please call 0300 300 0013 or use our online service.
Biffa teams cannot collect extra waste or recycling left alongside your bin at this time.
We want to take care of our crews so they can continue to work for as long as possible and we want to avoid them coming into direct contact with waste.
If you have extra garden waste, please bag it up securely and store it.
Please put it in your bin for the next scheduled collection.
