Bin/recycling collections
We are continuing in our efforts to provide waste collection services. There are a number of ways you can help us:
- Please place your bags out the evening before Our collection times may vary and may be earlier than normal. We will be unable to undertake any missed bin collections at this time.
- If it’s not possible for us to collect, please take your waste back in and await further instruction.
You can help us to protect our crews by doing the following:
- Placing all personal waste (such as used tissues and disposable cleaning cloths) in a disposable bag which has been tied securely.
- If any member of your household has symptoms of the coronavirus or you are self-isolating as you believe you or a member of your household are developing symptoms of the virus, you must double bag all tissues and personal waste and ensure the black bag is set aside for no less than 72 hours before placing into the general household waste black bag.
