Avoid bin delays
You can help avoid delays and missed bins by not:
- parking in front of bins as it means we can't empty them
- blocking access to streets for our bin trucks
- putting your bin out where it cannot be easily seen.
Recycling centres are now open on an appointment only basis. Book a visit to a household waste recycling centre.
