Putting your bins out

You should put your bin out correctly and ensure it is stored away after collection.

We do not collect on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Your Waste collection calendar (opens new window) will show your rescheduled collection days during this time. To see what you can recycle this Christmas see Christmas waste donations and collections.

put your bin out before 7am on your collection day, at the edge of your property or by the kerbside, with the handle facing the road
put your waste in securely tied bags inside your bin
make sure your bin lid is closed
make sure your house name or number is clearly displayed on your bin
you must not tie your bin lid to your bin as this is a health and safety hazard for the collection crews

Putting the wrong things in your bin may result in it not being emptied.
