Search for your day of collection using our database, plus read a guide to reporting missed bins and alterations due to Bank Holidays.
We offer a separate service for larger items like fridges and other waste too bulky for regular collections.
We operate a weekly "Sharps Box" Collection Service to safely dispose of sharp objects, like used and unused syringes.
We provide a collection service to domestic properties who require the disposal of clinical and medical waste.
Due to hazardous waste regulations, you are not able to dispose of certain items with your regular waste collections. These should be separated.
To reduce odours and help crews with collections we advise households to store their rubbish in a wheeled bin, which we provide at an additional cost.
Householders have a duty to dispose of their waste in a responsible manner and could face a fine or prosecution if this isn't done. We've produced a guide to help you keep within the law.
If your rubbish is fly-tipped, possibly ending up in a field or lay-by, you could face a fine of up to £5,000. Even if you didn't dump the waste yourself!
