Bins

Help us to empty your bins

You are responsible for your waste. Under Section 46 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 you must store and present your waste correctly.

• Make sure you put the right things in your bins. If a bin contains unacceptable items it will not be emptied until your next scheduled collection.
• Put your grey, green (and brown bin if you have one) out by 6.30am on your collection days, at the edge of your property.
• Make sure bin lids are closed. No additional bags of rubbish can be left for collection with your bins.
• Your bin must not be too heavy to be moved, or to be lifted by the hoist on the bin lorry.
• After your bins are emptied, remove them from the public highway and store them on your property.
