Black-lidded General Waste Bin

Please note the text service for missed bins and when is my next collection (number 60075) is currently unavailable.  Messages sent to this number will still be charged.

Your black-lidded bin is for general waste and is collected once every two weeks.

• Please place your bins at the edge of the curtilage of your property by 6:30am on your bin collection day
• All wheeled bins should have the lid shut to ensure the bin is safe for emptying.
• We won't collect additional waste or recycling left beside your bin.
• We do not collect hardcore or building rubble, you would require the services of a private contractor for the disposal of these materials.
