Rubbish & Recycling

Sevenoaks District Council is responsible for collecting your weekly rubbish and recycling.

Wheelie bin collections – from October 2026

To help residents recycle more and reduce their general rubbish, Sevenoaks District Council is introducing new wheelie bins and alternate weekly waste collections. The Council will collect general waste one week, and recycling the other.

Refuse and recycling bags

Black refuse sacks can be purchased from local outlets and supermarkets.

Sevenoaks District Council will provide details later in the year about returning your recycling sack for life.

Food waste

Sevenoaks District Council provides a caddy for your food waste. This is collected weekly.

Garden waste sacks

Sevenoaks District Council offers a paid-for garden waste scheme that residents can join.

If you don’t have enough garden waste for a bin, SDC offers collection sacks, which can be purchased from the Town Council.

Each sack holds up to 80 litres of garden waste.
You can purchase bundles of 25 sacks from us for £29 or £1.16 each. Use them as you need to.
Garden waste left out in other sacks or containers will not be collected.

Payment

Edenbridge Town Council office is open Monday to Thursday 9.00am to 3.30pm. Payment can be made by cash or card. If you have any queries, please email information@edenbridgetowncouncil.gov.uk or call 01732 865368.

Bulky waste

Sevenoaks District Council has informed us that it will no longer be able to provide this discretionary waste service. The Town Council is currently looking into alternative providers. Historically, the service was funded by Edenbridge Town Council and provided by Sevenoaks District Council as a way for residents to conveniently and responsibly dispose of large unwanted items.

Residents will continue to have access to alternative methods for the disposal of bulky household items, including:

Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs)
Bulky waste home collection services, which you can book directly with SDC
Reuse and donation schemes provided by local charities
