Christmas and New Year collections.
Leave your bins out for collection in a clearly visible place at the edge of your property by 6.30am on collection day. Please note we work as normal on bank holiday Mondays and Good Friday. What happens if a collection is missed?
Weekly collections
Mixed recycling in your green wheelie bin. Paper, card, cartons, cans and plastics (see webpage or leaflet for details). Textiles in a bag by your bin. NO GLASS, NO FOOD.
Glass recycling in your recycling box. Glass bottles and jars ONLY.
Textiles, clothing, shoes and accessories recycling in a sealed, clearly-labelled bag by your other recycling.
Food waste recycling in your food bin. All food waste except bulk liquids (like large amounts of milk or soup). No packaging, but you can wrap your food waste in plastic bags.
Refuse in your black wheelie bin. If it can't be recycled in your other bins. NO FOOD WASTE.
Because these are weekly collections you will no longer need a collections calendar. You can simply choose whether or not to put each bin out on collection day.
Fortnightly collections
Garden waste and leaves in your brown wheelie bin. A fortnightly, chargeable service for subscribers only. Check your garden waste collection week. We will send a new garden waste calendar each March.
The right thing in the right bin
