Household waste

 Your grey wheelie bin is for household waste that can't be recycled: things like food scraps, nappies, plastic tubs, crisp packets, plastic packaging.

 

Don't put anything that can be recycled into your grey bin. 

 

All your waste must be in your wheelie bin. We won't take any extra bags of household waste.

 

Keep the lid closed and double-wrap food scraps, nappies or pet waste to prevent bad smells.

 

Put your bin out at the edge of your property or agreed collection point by 7.00am on your collection day. Please make sure it doesn't obstruct the pavement.
