Rural collections

Some homes are hard to reach with big bin trucks. If this is your home, we will use a smaller van to collect your waste. This van cannot lift wheelie bins, so you must take your waste to a special collection point near your home.

• We can’t collect waste directly from your house

General waste

• We do not give out black bin bags anymore
• You must use your own bin bags
• If you use a green bin to store your bags, don’t put loose rubbish inside – everything must be in bags
• We will only take one green bin or up to three bin bags
• If your bin or bags have the wrong things inside, we won’t empty them

Recycling

• We will give you blue reusable bags for recycling
• You’ll also get a grey bin to keep the bags safe from wind and rain
• You can put all recycling items together in the blue bags – no need to sort them
• You can now recycle:
  • Plastic food trays
  • Yoghurt pots
  • Margarine/butter tubs
  • Food and drink cartons
• Don’t put plastic bags in your recycling
• Please rinse out food and drink containers before recycling
• You can ask for more than one grey bin if needed

Collection day

• Rubbish and recycling are collected on the same day, but on different weeks
• Put your waste out by 6.30am
• After collection, bring your bin back to your property as soon as you can.

Important

• The Domestic Waste and Recycling Policy will be enforced.
• Thank you for helping us recycle – we really appreciate it!
