Green waste vouchers
Green waste vouchers provide flexibility to dispose of large quantities of green waste at a convenient time
Voucher distribution
Green waste vouchers are part of each year's Valuation and Rates notice. They appear as a QR code on the front page of the notice on the right hand side below the details of rates and charges. You will need to bring the notice with you when you drop off your green waste and the attendant will scan the QR code. The QR code is unique to each property so you can use any notice throughout the year
