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.
