GARDEN waste collections are set to resume in Reading – but only if the waste is left in the bin.

From Monday, February 7, residents with a subscription can expect the service to restart, having been temporarily paused due to Covid-19.

Existing green bin or bag subscribers will receive an extension for weeks lost as the scheduled Christmas pause began earlier than planned on Monday, January 13, and continued past the original intended restart date of Monday, January 10.

Cllr Adele Barnett-Ward, lead member for neighbourhoods and communities, said: “I would like to thank all residents who subscribe to the garden waste collection service for their patience.

“It is testimony to the hard work of the team that, despite the impact of the omicron variant, Reading’s food waste, recycling, and grey bin collections continued uninterrupted.”

Any residents who had active subscriptions during the summer, when collections were also suspended, will also have those weeks added on to their current subscription.

Cllr Barnett-Ward continued: “The pause was necessary to protect other essential collections.

“We are now confident that we can operate the garden waste service without jeopardising these services and I look forward to the full waste service restarting.”

The council is expecting larger than normal volumes of green waste when the service resumes and have asked residents not to place excess next to their bins.

Any leftover garden waste should be stored and placed in green bins over future scheduled collections.
