Disruption to garden waste collections

The recent spell of warm, dry weather has seen a dramatic increase in garden waste compared to just a few weeks ago when amounts were significantly less. This is resulting in delays, including some areas which we have been unable to collect.

Leeds Freegle and Freecycle are online services available to give away your unwanted items, or pick up items from other people, free of charge. The links to their websites are on the right of this page. 

You can also take your items to the Revive Leeds Re-Use Shop at Seacroft (East Leeds) recycling site or to your nearest recycling site where there are special containers at the sites for any re-useable items which will be collected by local charities.

Please remember for re-use sofas, armchairs and beds must carry fire safety labels and electrical items must be free of rust, reasonably clean, have intact seals and were working the last time they were used. 

If you cannot get to a Recycling Site we have a free bulky waste collection service available. To book a collection please telephone us on 0113 2224406 (Mon-Fri 8:00am-6:00pm). The waiting time for collections can be up to eight weeks.  For more information, please download the Bulky Waste Leaflet below.

If you have a brown bin you should use this for garden waste. If you fill it, you can take any additional waste to your recycling site or you can arrange a collection as part of our bulky waste service.

How many items will you take?

​Please be aware the crew will only take listed items.  We will only collect four large items, or 10 bags of general waste but not food waste at any one time.  These bags need to be the same size as a black refuse sack.  The bags need to be double bagged and securely tied at the top.

Where should I leave my items for collection?

​Items should be kept in a safe and accessible place.  They should be covered to protect them from weather especially soft furnishings, sofas and mattresses.  Nails and screws should be removed for Health and Safety reasons and all items should be made safe by taping up doors and loose wires.

On your day of collection make sure any gates are unlocked, there are no cars on the drive and any dogs are inside the house or on a lead.

Will the crew take extra items on the day of collection?

​The crew will only take the items listed for collection.  If you change any items that are due to be collected please contact us at least two days before collection is due.

What time will you collect my items

​Items will be collected on your collection date between 7am and 5pm. Please ensure your items are put out no later than 7am on the day of collection.
