Windfall Collection Service
3 November 2026
The Vale of Glamorgan Council is reintroducing a free service for collections of leaves and fruit that have fallen on public land.
Residents can now sign up to the service, and it will run until the 30 November.
Residents can book their collection slot through the link here.
Residents who already have a paid garden waste subscription can place leaves and windfall fruit in their garden waste bag on their usual collection day until 27 November.
From 30 November garden waste collections will be bookable for subscribers: https://www.valeofglamorgan.gov.uk/en/living/Recycling-and-Waste/Garden-Waste.aspx
Community groups and those wanting to plan a larger scale street sweep, can email wwgeneralenquiries@valeofglamorgan.gov.uk to discuss collection arrangements.
Cllr Mark Wilson, Cabinet Member for Neighbourhood and Building Services said: “After past success of this service, we are delighted to reintroduce it as we know how successful it has been in the past.
“There is a lot of ground to cover in the Vale, so services like this are integral to ensuring our areas stay clean.
“Making it as accessible as possible to each Vale resident is at the core of the service, therefore we hope it helps communities across the county clear their areas, regardless of whether they have a garden waste subscription.
“During autumn and winter, leaves can build up around gullies and drainage systems, potentially causing blockages and preventing rainwater from draining away effectively. By clearing this windfall, we can help reduce the risk of blocked drains and surface water flooding, while keeping our neighbourhoods safer and more accessible.”
