The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs does not hold this data.
Under section 45(3) of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 waste collection authorities are permitted to charge a reasonable amount for the collection of garden waste.
Local Authorities are best placed to determine the effective delivery of local services.
