To be sure their garden waste collections continue or start from Wednesday 1 April, Frome residents must renew - or sign up for - their 2020-21 subscription by this Friday, 13 March.

Renewing on time is essential this year as the collections contractor is changing. Only those customers who have renewed by 13 March will receive the service from April. No letter yet? Do not wait, renew now, says Somerset Waste Partnership.

Once payment is received, a sticker will be sent to attach to the garden waste bin. Do check the sticker letter carefully as some garden waste collection days will change from 1 April.

Thanks to the deal Somerset Waste Partnership negotiated with the new contractor, which sees improved kerbside services at the same time as savings of millions of pounds, the price of a garden waste subscription has fallen slightly.

The cost of a year's fortnightly garden waste collections will not rise with inflation, as in recent years, but fall to £55.50 from its present £56.90, reflecting the reduced cost. The option of garden waste sacks has also fallen, from £28.40 for 10 sacks to £27.50 next April.

To renew or start a garden waste collection, visit the Somerset Waste site Or contact your district council customer services https://www.somersetwaste.gov.uk/contact-us/
