Bins and recycling

Changes to recycling and waste

The new recycling and waste service has started. You can check your collection day.

Search for your next collection dates

Check your information pack carefully. Temporary collection arrangements are in place until the end of June for properties with a gap of more than three weeks between their old and new black bin collection dates. This includes a one-off Saturday collection for some properties.

You can now recycle plastic bags and soft plastic packaging for recycling at kerbside. Read below for more information.

Download the app and never miss bin day again.

For more information, see our three-weekly page.
