Arun

A garden waste collection service, called the "Green Waste Club" is available to Arun residents for a charge. Members of the Green Waste Club will receive fortnightly collection of garden waste from the front of the property. Garden waste collected through the service is composted at a local composting facility. Hire of a brown wheeled bin is also covered in the cost of the service.

This service is provided by Verdant, Arun District Council’s contractors. 

Due to the success of the service there will be no price increase for 2008/9.

  • The cost for subscription renewal via the phone is £60.00, online is £54.62.

  • The cost for new subscribers via the phone is £71.75, online is £66.37 this price includes delivery of the new bin. 

    Verdant will be taking new orders from January for service to commence in March. Please call 01903 734520 or visit www.greenwasteclub.co.uk for details.
