2023 Garden Waste Permits

Dundee residents are being encouraged to renew their garden waste permits for 2023 following the opening of the permit’s ordering system.

Householders are being urged to plan ahead to ensure they are signed up in advance of the first collections in March. The cost of a permit is £42.50 per bin and covers the 20 collections allocated to eligible households across this year which works out at less than £2.15 per collection.

Customers who opted in to the scheme in 2022 will receive invitations either by letter or email to re-apply for the 2023 collections. Reminders and updates also feature on 2023 collection calendars and on the Council’s social media channels.

Neighbourhood Services Convener Councillor Heather Anderson said: “The levels of sign-ups to the service have been very impressive in recent years and this is something we want to replicate again this year.

“We are committed to recycling as much of the city’s waste as we can. The Garden Waste service is integral to achieving the ambitious targets set for Dundee’s recycling and climate change efforts. We can all contribute to these sustainable goals for the city.”

Members of the public can still dispose of their garden waste free of charge at the city’s household waste recycling centres located at Baldovie and Riverside.

The garden waste collected is taken to the Riverside Composting facility to create the PAS 100 quality certified Discovery Compost, which is then made available for purchase by gardeners, community groups, and farmers.

Home composting bins can also be bought in many retail outlets and are available to purchase from Dundee City Council directly for £20 with free delivery.
