Collections

Bins
We collect the following from outside your home:
  • Garden waste and cardboard (your green wheelie bin)
  • Recycling (your green recycling box)
  • Paper recycling (your green paper recycling bag)
  • Household refuse (your black wheelie bin)

Each collection takes place on an alternating basis. Your green bin, green bag and green box are collected one week, and your black bin on the same day of the following week.

We also have special services for:

  • Elderly or disabled people
  • Clinical waste for people with certain health conditions
  • Items that are too big to fit in your bin (bulky waste)
