Additional green bins and permits
Every household in South Cambridgeshire is entitled to 1 free green bin for food and garden waste, which we collect fortnightly from March to November and monthly from December to February. Additional green bins will not be emptied without a valid permit.
You can pay for an additional bin/permit at anytime during the year, but the price is the same. There are no concessions. The subscription year runs from 1 October 2023 - 30 September 2024. It is the permit that you pay for, not the bin.
Please see our terms and conditions for more information.
Pay to renew your additional green bin permit(s)
The price for an additional green bin permit for 1 October 2023 - 30 September 2024 will be £45. The bin is free of charge, it is the permit that you pay for.
Pay to renew your green bin permit(s)
Once you have paid for your permit(s), you will receive the new stickered permit(s) in the post by 31 October. You still can use your current permit(s) until you receive the new one(s).
