Collection weeks |
Every street is either be a 'Round A' or a 'Round B' street – each week we'll collect blue and brown bins from one round and green/grey bins from the other round, then swap over the following week |
In a small number of streets we have to collect waste and recycling in bags rather than bins. We provide bags to households that receive this service. Garden and food waste must be placed in bags with non-recyclable waste as we are unable to provide brown bin collections for these households.
Your street's collection day
You can check the normal collection day for any street and whether it's a 'Round A' or 'Round B' street by selecting the first letter of the street name:

Things to remember
It's important you remember:
- to leave your bins out by 6am on the day of collection
- to leave your bins at the front edge of your property or at your agreed collection point, as close as possible to the public footway or pavement without causing an obstruction for pedestrians – we will not collect your bins if they are not put in an easy-to-access place
- to use the right bin for the different types of waste and recycling
- contaminated bins will not be emptied – check what goes in your bins
- collections may not be at the same time every week
- we will only collect waste from bins with the lid shut
- we will collect extra recycling as side waste if your blue bin is full, but we will not collect green/grey bin or brown bin side waste unless we have given notice – for more on side waste, go to what goes in your bins
