Household rubbish collections

Instructions for rubbish collections

  1. Carefully wrap (and label if appropriate) any broken glass or other items that could cause injury.. 
  2. Keep all of your waste bags within your property boundary until your collection day.
  3. On your collection day, leave your tied black bag on the end of your property boundary before 6am.
  4. If you do not have a front garden, leave the tied black bag on the pavement the night before collection day (no earlier than 5.30pm).
  5. If bags must be placed on a path or public highway for collection, they should not obstruct cars, pedestrians or other vehicles.
  6. To avoid household rubbish bags being split open by foxes, birds and other animals, we strongly recommend the use of standard-size domestic dustbins up to a maximum of 90 litres capacity (not wheeled bins) to safely contain your rubbish before collection day.
  7. Residents must supply their own sacks for general waste - preferably black, not white, as these may be confused with recycling sacks

Flytipping
