Rubbish and Recycling

Rubbish and recycling bins are collected once a week (refer to the collection times below).

All rubbish and recycling bins need to be out at the kerbside by 7.30 am on the morning of collection. The wheelie bins must face the kerb and be placed at least half a metre away from any other bins. No waste is to be left next to or on top of the bins. This waste will not be picked up by our contractor.
