Garden Waste Reminders

With spring upon us, don't forget to renew your subscription or sign up for DDC’s garden waste collection service.

This comes as DDC rolls out new wheeled bins for the garden waste collection service, which renews from 1 April 2024. The change brings DDC in line with other Kent councils.

The change from garden waste sacks to wheeled bins is designed to make it easier and safer for householders and collection crews to move garden waste.
