Changes to your collection

If you have any questions about the new service you may find our Recycling and Waste FAQ has the answer.

Putting your rubbish and recycling out

The new collections will be from the 'curtilage' rather than the 'kerbside' (pavement). This means that bins will be collected from within the boundary of your property next to the kerbside and will be returned to that collection point.

You need to place your rubbish and recycling for collection before 7 am. Your rubbish or recycling will be collected at different times during the day. 

Please do not use black bin bags for your recycling as these will be mistaken for rubbish. Do not leave bin bags by the side of your bins as these will not be collected either.
