Refuse & recycling collections
Household general rubbish (refuse) and recycling is collected on an alternate week schedule. This means that your refuse will be collected one week and your recycling the next.
After a bank holiday, collections will be a day later than usual.
Check what should go in your bins. Any bin that contains items it shouldn't will not be emptied.
Please ensure that your bin is out by 6:30am on your collection day. It's also really important to label your bins with the property number or name.
