We often get asked about bins, bin collections, and getting rid of big items. This page will help you find the right information.
We encourage all our customers to dispose of waste using the correct bins; recycling wherever possible.

Household waste collections
Your local authority is responsible for household waste collections. Lots of useful information on recycling, bin collections and replacement bins is available on their websites:

General household waste
This is collected by your local authority on your designated collection day. If you have communal bins these will be collected from the bin store or at the boundary of your home. Please ensure that bin lids can close and that no additional items are left on top or next to the bin as your council may refuse to collect it.

Household recycling
Recycling at home is really simple and is something that everyone can do. Check your council's recycling collection day.

Green/garden waste collections
Green/garden waste collections are undertaken by your local council. There may be a charge for them to collect this waste from you.

Replacement bins
Your local authority provides replacement bins, if you need a new bin or recycling container please contact them directly.
