AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.

East Staffordshire froze its garden-waste subscription at £40 for 2026, retaining the £35 early-renewal price, according to November 2025 reporting. Council leaders considered six pricing options before keeping the charge unchanged. The planned service comprised 23 fortnightly collections between late January and December 2026.

Almost 27,000 households had subscribed during 2025, exceeding the council’s original forecast. About 73% of subscribers had used the early-payment discount. Despite that uptake, the service was forecast to lose around £139,000. The council linked some of the fall in garden waste collected to the weather, rather than solely to charging.
