The council extended its normal kerbside pick-up to include green waste for four weeks in the wake of superstorms last month. Bookings for a pick up that includes green waste, closed on May 19.
The council has carried out more than 1200 kerbside collections since the storm, with the remainder of green waste bookings being carried out over the next few weeks.
Its kerbside collection system has reverted back to its usual system of bookings for kerbside collections of bulk waste only.
The council also suspended gate fees at the Summerhill Waste Management Centre.
During four weeks of free tipping, Summerhill received four times its usual waste and recycled a seven thousand tonnes of storm-related green waste.
Gate fees at Summerhill for green waste drop-off have been reduced until June 30.
