Waste Management
Putting your recycling and waste out for collection
Put your recycling and waste on the pavement for collection. Check your collection day.
All your containers and bins must be put out before 6am on the day of your collection or after 4:30pm the day before.
If you need help putting your recycling and waste out, you can apply for an assisted collection.
We will collect your recycling and waste between 6am and 3:30pm, Tuesday to Friday.
Once they are empty, please make sure you take your bins and containers off the pavement by 9am the day after your collection.
Use our A to Z of recycling to see how items can be recycled or disposed of safely.
We also provide a bulky item collection and hygiene collection service.
