Gull proof bags are strong reusable bags which are used to collect general household waste in some streets in the World Heritage Site.
They:
- help protect your waste from gulls
- are used alongside kerbside recycling collections for certain materials, like, paper, card, cans, plastics, glass and food
- are collected once a week between 6:30am and 4pm
You should:
- only put your bag out on the correct day, no later than 6:30am
- bring your bag inside after it has been emptied
- use the ties on the bag to fasten it to something solid, like railings, so it does not blow away
- make sure your waste is contained in a large bin bag with no loose waste left beside it
- not use bins in nearby streets to dispose your waste as this causes overflow
- ensure all sharp objects are well wrapped and not protruding from any bags
- not leave loose items or use small bags as they won't be uplifted
