Request a Garden Waste refund for Rothercard holders for the 2026/27 subscription year

If you had a valid Rothercard at the time your Garden Waste Direct Debit payment was taken for this year’s subscription, you may be entitled to a refund if you were charged the standard Garden Waste subscription price.

If you are entitled you will be refunded £7.95, which is the difference between the standard subscription price and the Rothercard discounted rate.

You can request this refund using our online form.

Who can request a Rothercard refund?

You may be eligible for a refund if:

  • you hold a valid Rothercard

  • you pay for your Garden Waste subscription by Direct Debit

  • you were charged the full standard price instead of the Rothercard discounted price

  • you have not already received the £7.95 refund through another process

How to request your refund

You can request your refund using our online form. You will be asked to confirm:

  • the address where your Garden Waste service was provided

  • Rothercard number and expiry date
