We operate a system of alternate weekly collections. Your recyclable waste (large green bin and recycling box) is collected one week and your non-recyclable waste (in your black bin) is collected the next week.
To find your collection day, please see "Do it Now" opposite.
Special circumstances
As over half of household waste can be recycled you should have adequate capacity in your bin if you are using your green containers for everything that can be recycled.
If you have special circumstances that mean you cannot manage with the space in your black bin, ie a large family (6 or more) or special medical problem which makes managing your black bin waste difficult then please contact the StreetCare Helpdesk on 01454 868000 to discuss ways we may be able to help you.

Normal collections will resume week commencing Monday 19 January
Please put your bin and/or recycling boxes out by 7.00 am on the day of collection. If your collection is missed on the due day, please leave your bin out for collection on the following working day.
Extra rubbish
For the first black bin emptying after Christmas, up to 3 bags of additional waste (side waste) will be collected alongside your black wheeled bin. This is a one-off service for that one day only. This concession does not apply to your green bin. If you have too much cardboard for your green bin, flatten it, fold it and keep it for your next green bin collection.
