We all produce household waste but there are ways of dealing with it other than simply putting it in the dustbin for collection.

Whether you have a wheeled bin or a standard dustbin and liners your waste should be collected every week except at Christmas and New Year when revised arrangements will be notified.  Your bin is provided to enable you to dispose of household waste.  Replacement bins are provided by the council, garden waste and bulky household waste is collected separately.  Please see the above for further information.

For properties that have a green wheeled bin this is collected once per month in addition to the grey bin.  There are currently over 140,000 properties with green wheeled bins where material is collected for recycling.

If you have wheeled bins you should wheel your bins to the agreed presentation point, usually at the edge of your property before the crew arrives.  To be certain of collection the bin should be out by 7:00am.  Please return your bin to its storage point as soon as possible after it has been emptied.  If you are ever unable to wheel out the bin and think you may qualify for assistance with collection telephone the Waste Segregation Helpline on 01484 223120.
