Popular tasks right now
Our service covers most of Northumberland and operates from early March to the end of November/beginning of December. Please click here to view upcoming garden waste collection dates. Please note: Garden waste bins are property of Northumberland County Council. If you no longer require this service, please call us on 0345 600 6400 so we can collect your brown bin. Click here to view our Garden Waste Service Terms and Conditions 2022.
If your garden waste collection was missed, you can report it to us online.
Whilst every effort will be made to return to collect your Garden Waste bin if we have missed it through a fault of our own, if it has been missed due to circumstances beyond our control (e.g. bad weather) this might not always be possible.
Unfortunately, we are unable to pay refunds or part refunds for missed Garden Waste bins.
Compost/soil conditioners can be bought from our HWRCs for about £4.00 per bag (2022 price). If there are none available at the time of your visit, bags can be ordered with expected delivery to the site between two to three days.
Please note, as of 23 May 2022, compost sales at Morpeth HWRC are currently suspended due to issues with the payment machine. The compost is made from garden waste collected through our garden waste collection scheme. Residents can buy compost in bulk from James Enderby (01434 602786 or 07717 416643). James will offer you a quote on the basis of time and distance. You can also visit the DJ and SJ recycling website by clicking here.
