Sign up for garden waste collections

All customers who subscribe to the service will receive a new yellow sticker for their bin. The current RFID sticker will no longer be valid and will not be used for collections during the new service period.

Once a resident has successfully subscribed, they will receive a sticker pack with instructions within 10 days. Residents are asked to place the new yellow sticker on their garden waste bin as instructed to ensure their bin continues to be collected.

Alongside the usual fortnightly collections for nine months of the year, the service will now include monthly collections in December 2026, January 2027 and February 2027.

Brown bin collections will only be listed on 'check your bin day' for those residents who have paid and subscribed to garden waste collections.

What happens to my Garden Waste?

Flintshire County Council collect Garden Waste from all over the county and turn it into a super rich soil conditioning product. Approximately 12,000 tons of green waste from Flintshire's households, Household Recycling Centres (HRCs), roadsides, parks, and gardens, is collected every year.

It's taken to the Council's own composting site in Greenfield. Only vegetation such as grass, branches, and leaves can be taken to the site, items such as soil, cardboard or plastic cannot be accepted.
