We currently collect garden waste from approximately 55,000 properties in Leeds. Since the scheme started last year 3704 tonnes of garden waste has been sent for composting instead of going to landfill.
There are six garden waste collection routes. These are in:
C1 Roundhay and Moortown
C2 Gipton and Harehills and Killingbeck and Seacroft
C3 Morley North
C4 Calverley and Farsley
C5 Adel and Wharfdale
C6 Alwoodley
To check when your bin is due to be emptied please download the calendar.
Residents in the Kirkstall and Weetwood wards can participate in a Community Compost Scheme being run by Leeds Organic Growers. Details of the scheme can be found at www.leedsorganicgrowers.org
Only properties with a brown bin receive a garden waste collection service. To check if your property is on one of the garden waste collection routes please click on the link on this page.
