Garden Waste

TOR2 is doing the 'green thing' by asking residents not to use the residual (non-recyclable) waste collection system to dispose of their garden cuttings and clippings. Garden waste that is thrown away with general household rubbish ends up in landfill, but there are several options for dealing with your garden waste in a more environmentally friendly way.

Garden Waste Collection Service

Torbay Council offers a cash on collection service for collecting garden waste from households in Torbay. This service is offered at a charge of £6.00 for up to 8 bags and 50p for every additional one. For further details of this service or to arrange a collection, please phone 01803 207900.

Garden Waste Collections Points

Monthly Garden Waste Collection Points operate in Brixham and Torquay every month between February and November. Torbay residents can take their household garden waste to the collection point between the hours of 9am and 1pm. The waste is then sent for composting.
Restrictions: These services are for household garden waste only. No plastic bags, soil, rubble or branches over 10cm (4 inches) in diameter. No commercial waste.
