Carmarthenshire Council have announced that starting this year, residents will no longer receive an invoice for the garden waste collection service and must subscribe annually instead.
The council say the subscription period is now open, and residents can sign up online at the Council’s garden waste webpage or in person at one of the Council’s Hwbs in Ammanford, Carmarthen, or Llanelli.
The annual service charge for 2025 is £58.83 residents can choose to spread the cost through direct debit payments or if customers choose to pay in full a 10% is applied reducing the charge to £53.
Residents requiring multiple bins will receive a 10% discount on the service charge for these bins.
To avoid any interruption to service, residents are being asked to ensure their subscriptions are active before the service re-starts in March.
Cllr Edward Thomas, Cabinet Member for Transport, Waste, and Infrastructure Services said: “These updates to the garden waste collection service are an important step in improving efficiency and ensuring we can continue to deliver a high-quality service for our residents. By adapting to this new structure, we are also reinforcing our commitment to environmental sustainability, turning garden waste into valuable compost. We appreciate the community’s ongoing support in helping us create a greener, cleaner Carmarthenshire.”
The council say that specific collection days and weeks will be communicated via personalised collection calendars and existing customers will receive communication from the Council over the coming week.
