Yes please
Your black bin is for general household waste only. Try to recycle as much as you can in your green recycling bin.
Your household waste should be placed inside the bin with the lid closed. We do not collect extra bags on top of or near your bin.
No thanks
We will not collect your bin if you put items in that are hazardous, too large or heavy. This includes:
- batteries or low energy light bulbs
- gas bottles
- motor vehicle parts
- paint
- rubble or bricks
- soil or large branches
- syringes or needles (you can order on prescription a yellow sharps bin for needles through your GP practice)
- unused medication, tablets, liquids, inhalers and creams - return these to your doctor or pharmacist
