Hillingdon Council's garden waste collection service
Hillingdon Council's garden waste collection service is set to become fortnightly from April 2027, with a reduced annual charge.
Hillingdon Council's Cabinet decided in October 2026 to change the garden waste collection service to a year-round fortnightly schedule from April 2027. This will replace the current system of weekly collections for nine months and fortnightly over winter, moving from sacks to wheeled bins. The annual charge for the service will also be reduced from £77 to £69 per bin.
This change to the garden waste collection service is expected to deliver annual savings of approximately £800,000 for Hillingdon Council. Councillor Wayne Bridges, Cabinet Member for Residents Services, noted that neighbouring boroughs operate similar systems.
