Collection days

Find your collection day for:

Household refuse and recycling collections

Household refuse (general rubbish) and recycling is collected on an alternate week schedule.

This means that your refuse will be collected one week and your recycling the next.

Collections following a bank holiday will usually be a day later than normal for the rest of the week. Plus, collections over the Christmas and New Year period are on an amended schedule.

Check what should go in your refuse and recycling bins. If a bin contains unacceptable items, it will not be emptied.

Please ensure that your bin is out by 6.30am on your collection day and that you follow our bin collection advice.
