Brown bin collections will start in Leeds from Monday, March 13 continuing through until December.
Leeds City Council is one of the few councils to provide the collections for free and will deliver the largest garden waste collection by any council in the UK. As part of the service, 29,662 tonnes of garden waste were emptied last year.
All the garden waste collected in brown bins across Leeds is composted locally and used in farming, horticulture and land restoration projects around the city. These include leaving grass cuttings on your lawn, reusing garden waste by composting or creating piles for insects, birds and other local wildlife.
