Councillors are to discuss reducing the frequency of brown bin collections to fortnightly while retaining an annual charge for the service at the current rate.
The garden waste permit scheme, now in its fourth year of operation, currently provides permit holders with 50 weekly collections of food and garden waste throughout the year for a one-off annual fee of £52.20.
A report which will be discussed by councillors tomorrow says the estimated cost of providing a weekly garden waste collection in 2025/26 is £1.9 million.

The report by officers says a decision has to be taken now to allow for enough time for a fortnightly collection to be introduced from May.
