The New Waste Service Our new waste collection service has been in place since November to enable you to recycle even more.
By now you should have received the containers listed below:
- A large grey 25 litre food waste bin with a green lid
- A smaller grey five litre kitchen caddy
- A white 60 litre bag for your plastic bottles
- A collections calendar and information leaflet explaining the new services
- A new sticker for you to attach to your green bin as a reminder not to put cardboard in it
(NB This doesn't yet apply to all flats in the area)
If you haven’t received your new containers or you are missing any of the things listed above, please contact us streetcare@southglos.gov.uk (see 'Contact information') or call the contact centre on 01454 868000.
