You can now order your Garden Waste permit(s) for 2024.

The charge to have your garden waste collected in 2024 will be £42 per brown bin.

Would you like to know what happens to the contents of your bins once they have been collected? Then please take a look at our Where Does it Go, which shows the destinations of the recycling and waste collected in Stafford Borough.
