Cost explanation
As a discretionary service which residents choose to subscribe to or not, it is essential that the garden waste collection service covers its own costs without the need for subsidy from general taxation.
Reviewed periodically to ensure the charge is set at the right level to achieve full cost-recovery, projections on income and expenditure have to be made over a five-year period.
The £35 charge for 2021/22 has been carefully calculated to take an aggregated, longer-term view of anticipated customer take-up and increased operating costs – fuel, tyres, vehicle maintenance, staffing costs etc.
It is our practice to regularly assess levels of service take-up and cost-recovery, with a further review scheduled in two years’ time.
At £35, the North Kesteven service continues to be the most cost-effective of all the Lincolnshire districts.
Collection of first bin - £35.00
Collection of additional bins - £17.00 per bin
Purchase of additional brown bin - £35.00
Additional bins can be purchased at a cost of £35 each. In addition there will be a collection charge of £17 per additional bin per year.
