When temperatures reach 30 degrees Celsius or more, our refuse collectors and street cleaners will start earlier and take more regular breaks.
Bin collections and street cleaning will start from 5:30am. Help us by making sure your waste is ready to be collected by this time.
Dustbins
The Council operates a black sack collection service from kerbside properties. We do not supply dustbins to tenants or property owners. If you wish to purchase a bin to contain your waste between collections, it is your responsibility to provide this.
For the health and safety of our collections operatives, bins must be no more than waist height, with a secure lid, e.g. a standard black dust bin.
We do not collect rubbish from wheelie bins due to manual handling regulations. If you do purchase a wheeled bin for storage, it is your responsibility to remove waste from the bin, and present it in securely tied bags on the pavement by 7am on the day of collection (not the night before).
Please ensure any dangerous items such as broken glass, are wrapped up before placing in your waste sacks.
