Advice for householders

During the festive period the amount of waste and recycling generated increases significantly.

To support our services please:

  • Keep using our Community Recycling Centres
  • We will collect extra recycling presented in bags (not black bags) and placed beside your recycling bin
  • Wash and squash recycling to maximise capacity in recycling bins.
  • Park vehicles considerately to enable our waste vehicles to access tight streets and carry out collections
