Garden waste & composting
All householders across Mendip can subscribe to a fortnightly garden waste collection service, which is chargeable.
Garden Waste sacks
Somerset Waste Partnership offers garden waste collections in pre-paid paper sacks. The sacks can be ordered through Somerset Waste Partnership and then booked on this form to be collected, once filled. We will not collect sacks purchased from any other supplier.
There is no time limit on when the sacks should be used but due to being made of compostable material, they will naturally break down over time.

Moving house?
Garden bins must be taken to your new address and not left at the old address, unless you are moving out of Somerset altogether. If you move to a new district within Somerset then please take their bin with you and we will replace it for the correct colour bin at your new home. Please complete the online form below if you move, or have a change of name.
