Help us to empty your bins

• We will only collect commercial waste presented in a commercial waste bin or sacks supplied by this council.
• Ensure the waste is as described in the Duty of Care.
• Do not include liquid or hazardous wastes for collection.
• Provide safe vehicular access to our containers.
• Place only acceptable items in your recycling or organic waste container. We are unable to empty bins containing incorrect items.
• Ensure your waste is accessible from 6am on the day of collection.
• Do not leave any excess waste or recycling next to your bins unless by prior arrangement.
• Report a missed bin within 2 working days otherwise we will be unable to return until the next scheduled collection.
• Keep bin lids closed at all times and ensure sacks are tied at the necks.
• Leave it loose - We cannot accept your recycling inside plastic bags. Instead, leave it loose within your container.

We do not collect healthcare waste from nursing or residential homes, surgeries, hospitals or vets. You will need to make separate arrangements for a specialist service if your business produces this type of waste.
