GREEN waste collections are set to resume next week.

The service will return to the streets of Warrington from Tuesday and run until December - with waste collected on the same day as you blue bin.

But if you want to subscribe for 2021, the price has gone up for the fourth straight year since charges were brought it.

The service will now cost residents £36 online or £40 if they pay by phone or in person.

The £36 is £1 more than last year and £5 more than when Warrington Borough Council started charging for the service in 2017.

Residents who subscribe get their green waste, including grass, flowers, plants, leaves, clippings, cuttings, weeds and other garden waste, collected every two weeks.

A spokesman for the council said: “Local councils don’t have to offer a kerbside collection service for garden waste.

“A few years ago we had more money coming from the government into our revenue budget, and we could pay for garden waste collections. Now, there isn’t enough money.

“So instead of shutting down the service completely we still offer it to those who want it, for a small fee.”

Residents are able to register for 2021 by visiting the council's website here.

The service runs until December.
