THE Dorset Waste Partnership (DWP) is offering a paid, fortnightly garden waste collection service across Purbeck from November.
More than 18,000 households in Christchurch, East Dorset and North Dorset have already signed up to the scheme, which costs between £25 and £35 a year.
DWP chairman Cllr Hilary Cox said: “We are delighted to be able to offer the optional garden waste service to households in Purbeck.
“The demand for the service show that residents are happy to pay for a clean, green and convenient way to keep their garden tidy and protect the environment, which offers them good value for money.”
The deadline for Purbeck households to apply and pay for the service is July 31.
This optional garden waste collection scheme is being offered ahead of next year’s new ‘recycle for Dorset’ recycle and rubbish collection.
