Make sure you check bin collection changes this festive period

Please ensure you check your bin collection changes this festive period.

Please ensure your bin is out for collection by 7am and refer to your collection calendar for dates when green bin collections stop and re-start over the Christmas and New Year period.

All the items you can place in each bin and what should be disposed of at a recycling centre, bulky or other items collection can be found on our bin collections webpage.

In blue recycling bins there should only be paper, card, mixed food and drinks cans, yoghurt pots, margarine tubs and plastic bottles. They should never contain glass. Small electrical items can be placed on top of the bin for collection and we also recycle batteries, please place in a bag on top of any coloured bin.

Remember to take your glass bottles, jars, textiles, shoes and Tetra Pak cartons including Pringles tubes, orange juice, chopped tomato, milk and custard containers to a local bring bank. You can find your nearest recycling facility by using the online recycling locater. 

The grey bin is for household waste that cannot be recycled or composted in your blue or green bin or at bring sites. Please wrap food waste in paper or plastic bags before placing in the bin and keep the lid shut.
