Don’t bin your garden waste stickers, you will need them next year, says council
Households that have subscribed to Flintshire Council’s garden waste collection are being urged not to remove the stickers provided for their brown bins.
The council has been using a new type of sticker, which contains an RFID (radio frequency identification) tag, for all households who subscribe to the collection service.
The electronic stickers work in a similar way to shop security tags or stickers and are to be attached to the brown bin and registered to each property.
Garden waste collections have now ended for the 2023 season.
Please do not remove the sticker you were provided with from your brown bin as this will be used for the 2024 collection service if you choose to subscribe again.

The electronic sticker is intended to be automatically scanned by a chip reader on the bin lift at the back of the bin wagon to confirm that a subscription is in place and make it easier for the crews to identify that the bin is eligible for collection.
Garden waste collections came to end in the second week of December and the council has said:
“Garden waste collections have now ended for the 2023 season.”
“Please do not remove the sticker you were provided with from your brown bin as this will be used for the 2024 collection service if you choose to subscribe again. ”
