Don’t forget, the council’s pause on green-lidded garden waste collections is fast approaching.

Winter collections will stop from December 1 – and start up again from March 1 next year.

If you do have some garden waste, you can still dispose of it free of charge at the Household Waste Recycling Centre on Barkers Lane – just don’t forget to register your car before your first visit.

In a statement to the press, Bedford Borough Council has asked residents not to place their garden waste in black wheelie bins, the orange-lidded bins or leave bags of garden waste beside bins.
