Bins and recycling
Changes to recycling and waste
Red bags for recycling plastic and metal are being delivered. Full instructions are included in a leaflet inside.
It will take around eight weeks to deliver all the red bags. If your neighbours have received a red bag but you haven't yet received yours please wait until the start of May to contact us. You can continue to use your recycling boxes in the meantime.
For more information, see our three-weekly page.
