Residents in Hinckley can now sign up for the 2026/27 garden waste collection service provided by Hinckley & Bosworth Borough Council. The annual subscription fee is set at £52.50 per bin, with collections running from 1 June 2026 until 31 May 2027.
The service offers households a total of 25 collections over the year, occurring every two weeks. These collections will be paused for a two-week period during Christmas and New Year. The garden waste is collected in brown-lidded bins, which are available in either 240-litre or 140-litre sizes, and the material is then taken to local farms to be turned into compost.
Residents who currently pay for their garden waste collection via direct debit do not need to take any action to renew their service for the upcoming year. The council will process the payment and send out a new sticker by mid-May to confirm the renewal.
For households that have larger amounts of waste that exceed standard bin capacity, the council also provides a separate Big Bin collection service. Full details regarding the subscription process, including how to sign up online, can be found on the council website.
