General information about refuse collections

Refuse is collected from all households weekly
Most houses have a wheelie bin which has a dark grey/black lid and is embossed with one dot for their refuse
Please note that only waste placed in the wheelie bin will be collected - no side waste is accepted (exceptions apply immediately following bank holidays)

Putting your refuse out ready for collection

Once sorted your household waste must be put out on the front boundary of your property close to the pavement in a clearly visible location (or in your bin store if that's where it's normally collected from) ready for collection by 6:30am on the morning of your collection day, please avoid blocking paths or other public areas - if you do not know your collection day, please see When is my bin day?

To help protect the people collecting your refuse and recycling from injury

Please be careful how you dispose of any broken glass and sharp objects.

To help protect your local neighbourhood

Please ensure that all items you put out for collection are contained within your wheelie bin. Additional waste not contained within the wheelie bin will not be accepted and may cause a littering nuisance if attacked by animals and/ or birds.
