EALING residents can subscribe to the council’s garden waste collection service from next month.

From April 1, the council will offer fortnightly collections for anyone who has subscribed. Residents who have signed up will pay an annual charge of £40 or a discounted fee of £30 for residents over 65 and those who receive means-tested benefits.

Payments can be made by direct debit, debit or credit card, by cheque or cash. Subscribers will pay for the whole year until March 2013. For more details, visit www.ealing.getcomposting.com
