Local information

Gardening in Tonbridge

The Tonbridge seat takes in Tonbridge town, Hildenborough, Borough Green, Wateringbury and West Malling. It also reaches south to Edenbridge, Penshurst and Hever. Two different councils empty the brown garden bins here. Tonbridge and Malling charges £66 a year, and Sevenoaks District charges £65 in its seven wards. No Kent tip sits inside the seat, so people drive to North Farm, Allington or Dunbrik. Each of those three centres needs a booked slot.1 2 3 4 5
