When is my collection day?

Collection dates

Enter your postcode to see your next three collection days.

* if you check this box we will use a cookie to remember your chosen address. You can uncheck it at any time by choosing 'select a different address'.

Please contact us if you have your recycling collected from shared wheeled bins.

Collection point

Put your bins and boxes out as close to the public highway as possible. Usually this is on the pavement outside your house.

We are unable to come onto your property to collect your bins, unless you have been approved for assistance with your collections.

Collection time

We will collect your bins and boxes at any time between 6am and 4pm. 

We recommend putting your bins out the night before collection. 

How to put your recycling out for collection

Stacked boxes

Please stack your boxes as shown in this picture. Place your blue food waste container on the top box to help stop items from blowing away.

Your recycling should be contained within your boxes. If you have large cardboard boxes, fold or tear them to fit inside your green box.

Wheeled bins

Your waste needs to be put inside your bin with the lid closed. We cannot collect extra bags of waste from on top of, or beside your bin.

If your bin is overfull with the lid open, we may need to leave one of your bags behind. 

Find out what to do if you have extra waste.

Bin and box storage

Your bins and boxes need to be stored on your property between collections. After collection, take them back onto your property as soon as possible. 

Access

Collections will be delayed if our vehicles cannot access your street. Please consider this when parking your cars outside your home and avoid parking on tight corners. 

Download a yearly calendar

You can download a calendar showing all your collection dates for a year from April to March.
