Lancaster residents who pay the council to have their garden waste collected will see a small increase in the price this year.

The city council says householders can now subscribe online to its garden waste collection service for 2023/24.

The cost of the service has remained at £40 per bin per year since 2018.

However, the charge will increase to £41 for the 2023/24 service which runs from April 1 2023 to March 31 2024.

The council says the slight increase in price is necessary due to a rise in the cost of delivering garden waste collection.

Anyone already subscribed to the service will receive reminder letters and emails over the coming weeks with instructions on how to subscribe online to next year’s service.

Anyone wanting to register now for the council’s 2023/24 garden waste collection service can do so by visiting www.lancaster.gov.uk/garden-waste
