Just one day left to sign up for garden waste collections in Edinburgh

There is just one day left for Edinburgh residents to sign up to have their garden waste collected during 2020.

Those who want brown bins removed must register with the city council before 2pm on Monday, February 3.

Registration usually requires signing up to a mygovscot account and there is a £25 fee.

This will give residents a sticker to put on their bins which will allow them to be picked up.

The council's environment convener said they were receiving hundreds of applications every day.

Councillor Lesley Macinnes said: "We’ve had a great response already in this  final registration ‘window’ for the current service year.

"Around 3,500 households have signed up since 20 January and we’re receiving hundreds and hundreds of applications every day.

"Please don’t miss out – if you’d like to have your brown bin collected every fortnight, which works out at less than 50p per week, sign up without delay at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/gardenwaste."

The current service year runs until 4 October 2020. New permit stickers and garden waste calendars will be sent out in early March.
