Subscriptions now open for West Northants garden waste service
Residents across West Northamptonshire can now sign up for optional, chargeable garden waste collections from April 2024.
The annual subscription charge for the fortnightly service from April 2024 to the end of March 2025 is £58 per bin and can be made online at www.westnorthants.gov.uk/gardenwaste.
Residents can sign up for an annual direct debit to save having to remember to renew every year. Residents who are unable to access the internet can subscribe to the service by phoning the council on 0300 126 7000.
Once households are signed up to the service, they will receive their new 2024/25 garden waste permit which they will be asked to stick on their garden waste bin. Any bins that have not subscribed will not be emptied after 1 April.
People who do not wish to sign up to the service have the option of composting their garden waste at home, either in a traditional compost heap or by purchasing a compost bin by visiting www.getcomposting.com and typing in their postcode to see offers available in their area.
People can also recycle garden waste for free at any of the Council’s household waste recycling centres.
A comprehensive list of FAQs are also available on the Council’s website at www.westnorthants.gov.uk/bins-recycling-and-street-cleaning/garden-waste-collection-faqs

Anglian Water – Works Start 18th March 2024
Message from Anglian Water – Reference 62479897
I’m contacting you today to let you know about some upcoming work we have planned in your area.
Every day we clean and supply a billion litres of healthy drinking water and take away and clean your water after it’s been used. It’s all part of the service we provide using the money you pay us via your bill.
Phosphorous is a chemical widely used in soaps and cleaning products, but it can be harmful to wildlife in our waterways. To tackle this, we’re investing over £3.9 million into installing new equipment and laying new pipeline to strengthen the current water treatment process.
Our work will mean we can take out even more phosphorus from the water we return to the environment, improving the water quality for wildlife and reducing algae growth in your local rivers and streams.
Currently the drains and sewers in your community take used water away to our water recycling centre (WRC) off Maidwell Road in Draughton. We then clean it before returning it safely to the local environment. Due to an increase in flows we need to pump this extra flow to a bigger WRC to ensure you continue to receive reliable and resilient services.
To do this we’ll build a new pumping station and lay a seven-kilometre pipeline from Draughton WRC to Brixworth WRC. Most of our work will be through fields so there will be minimal disruption to you, but you might see us out and about in the area. You can see the route we will take on the map below.
When we reach road crossings, we will use a technique called directional drilling. This will allow us to insert pipes underneath the road without having to dig it up. It causes less disruption, while reducing our carbon footprint.
Work starts on 18 March and if everything runs smoothly, we’ll be finished by September 2024.
You can find information about this scheme and see any updates at anglianwaterproject.com/Draughton.
If you have any questions about our work, you can also email us at onealliancecustomers@anglianwater.co.uk or call us on 03457 145 145. You’ll just need to mention the reference number that you’ll find at the top of this email.
