Check your collection days

Your black bin for general waste and green bin for recycling are both collected weekly.

Your brown bin for food and garden waste is collected fortnightly.

If you have a small brown outdoor food waste bin then this is collected weekly as well.

On collection day, bins are scheduled to be emptied between 5am and 10pm.

If your property has no space to store wheelie bins at the front of your property then your property is on a sack collection service and these refuse and green recycling sacks will be collected on the same days as the bins are collected on your road. These sacks must be presented on the outside on the public highway.

Leave your bins:

• at the front boundary of your property
• bins need to be presented for collection by 5am on the bin collection day

We will not empty your bin if it:

• isn't presented at the front boundary of your property 
• contains waste that should be in a different bin or waste that would damage the collection vehicle
• is too heavy to be lifted safely by the collection vehicle

The bin will be placed back to within the boundary of your property following the collection.
