Green bin charges have gone up and residents have been ignored

Conservatives and local residents repeatedly expressed strong feelings about bin cuts and rising charges , but the Labour / Lib Dem administration has simply not listened.

In 2023, green bin charges were £30 under Conservative leadership

Here’s what residents are now facing:
🟢 2024: £60 – doubled under Labour / Lib Dem control
🟢 2026: £75 – another increase planned

That’s a 150% rise in just a few years, hitting households already struggling with the cost of living.

From this Friday, the Lib Dem-Labour coalition will impose 3-weekly black bin collections across South Gloucestershire .

We share residents' concerns of the possible impacts that could follow.

👉More waste sitting outside homes for longer, increasing odours, vermin, and public health concerns

👉Increased fly-tipping and excess waste on pavements, in alleyways, and in green spaces

👉Residents being asked to pay more for less

South Gloucestershire Conservatives have consistently voted against the introduction of 3-weekly black bin collections, but unfortunately the Lib Dems and Labour have forced this through.

South Gloucestershire Conservatives have said the decision by the Liberal Democrat–Labour administration to introduce 30 minutes of free parking is clear evidence they are backtracking after mounting pressure from residents and businesses.
