Garden Waste
Under ‘The Controlled Waste Regulations 1992‘ of the Environmental
Protection Act garden waste is classed as household waste for which a charge can be levied.
We will therefore not collect garden waste unless it is presented for collection
in a green prepaid Council sack or has an attached prepaid label (price: £1.00 each).
Each sack must not exceed 25kgs in weight and should only contain cuttings &clippings – please do
not include soil or rubble.
Garden sacks/stickers can be purchased from the following retailers:
- Blandford – Nixons
- Child Okeford – Post Office
- Gillingham – Crockers
- Marnhull – Robin Stores
- Marnhull – Spar
- Milborne St Andrew – Post Office
- Okeford Fitzpaine - Ye Old Bell Stores
- Shaftesbury – Autolock
- Shaftesbury – Bargins
- Stalbridge – Post Office
- Sturminster Newton - Harts

All garden waste collected through the sack and sticker scheme will go to landfill. This
will increase NDDC’s waste arisings (the total amount of waste collected) and reduce our recycling performance.
As a result of this NDDC is trying to encourage members of the public to either
home compost or take materials to Household Recycling Centres.
Please call Customer Contact at North Dorset District Council on (01258) 454111 or email
