Early waste and recycling collections due to warmer weather

Due to the warmer weather over the next few days, our waste and recycling crews will be starting their rounds earlier than usual until further notice. This is to help protect staff from working in the hottest part of the day. 

Please have your bins and boxes out by 5am on the day of your collection to make sure they’re collected.

If your waste is not collected, please leave it out and we will aim to be back to collect the following day. 

Thank you for your understanding and support in keeping our crews safe. 

We're no longer collecting side waste

We are no longer collecting any waste left next to, or on top of your wheelie bin or seagull sack. Please ensure you are recycling everything you can - if you are struggling to fit your waste in your container, please contact us for help
