Guidelines
- To take part, present your recyclables in the appropriate container;
- Place your recycling containers at the end of your path or on the boundary of your property before 8am on your collection day;
- Please rinse glass and mixed cans;
- NB - Please do not compress garden material into your brown bin in order to squeeze more in. Our operatives will attempt to empty every bin, but if the material will not become loose then they may not be able to empty it. This is particularly a problem during the winter months when garden material can freeze. Under these circumstances we may be unable to empty your bin.
