Garden waste

We do not accept garden waste in your black sacks but you can take your garden waste free of charge to your nearest household recycling centre for composting.

If you do need a collection of garden waste, we will collect it if you use the special Herefordshire Council green garden waste sacks.

You should place these green garden waste sacks out for collection on your normal waste collection day.

Where can I buy Herefordshire Council green garden waste sacks?

The Herefordshire Council green garden waste sacks cost 60p per sack. You can buy the green sacks from:

  • Customer service centres
  • Herefordshire Council's Brockington Office, Hafod Road, Hereford, HR1 1SH
  • Libraries in Hereford, Leominster, Ross-on-Wye, Ledbury, Belmont, Colwall, Weobley and Leintwardine
  • Eardisley Post Office
  • Marden Post Office

What happens to the garden waste you collect?

Garden waste collected using the green sacks is sent to landfill.
