North Northamptonshire Council has launched a new online system to help residents in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, get replacement garden waste stickers if their originals are missing or damaged. As of 17 March 2026, homeowners who have not received their sticker after 15 working days can now use a dedicated form to fix the problem.
North Northamptonshire Council introduced this change to make the garden waste service easier to manage for people who pay the yearly fee. Currently, the subscription for the garden waste collection costs £50 for each bin every year.
The stickers are necessary so that collection crews can easily identify which bins have been paid for and are ready for pick-up. In the Wellingborough area, the council usually collects garden waste from brown bins.
Residents who need a new or replacement bin might notice a change in appearance, as these are now black with a brown lid. This is part of a wider plan by the local authority to make all bin colours look the same across the region.
