Household rubbish is collected weekly. All waste must be inside your rubbish bin in tied carrier bags or sacks. No waste outside of the bin will be collected, apart from small electricals and batteries.

Bins must be out ready for collection by 7.30am on your collection day.

To reduce the amount of rubbish we collect, think before you throw and reduce, reuse and recycle where you can.

If you know you were due a collection and think we have missed your bin, you can tell us online. We can check the status of your collection in real time and let you know if there was a problem with your bin.

If your bin is broken, missing or the wrong size, you can request a bin change online.

You can recycle old or broken small electrical items by placing them into a standard carrier bag next to your rubbish bin. Any bags should be clearly labelled and only small amounts should be left, as space on the vehicles is limited. You can download and print a label from the bottom of this page or you can make your own.

They will be taken once a week, along with your rubbish bin on your scheduled collection day.

This service is also available if you live in a flat with communal bins. Do ensure only acceptable items are left next to your bins in a clearly labelled standard sized carrier bag.

You can recycle your old household batteries on your rubbish bin collection day with our kerbside collection service.

Put your batteries in a small clear plastic bag, such as a sandwich bag, or clean plastic pot or tub with a lid, and place it on top of your household rubbish bin on collection day. Do not place batteries inside your recycling or rubbish bin as they can cause fires if they end up in the wrong place.

We are beginning to extend this service out to flats with communal bins during 2021/22. In the meantime please use batteries banks located at many local shops and supermarkets.
