  • Boxes should be left out for collection by 7.00am at the kerbside or curtilage of your property
  • Materials must be sorted as shown above or boxes will not be emptied.
  • Sorry but we can't collect shredded paper, batteries or hand tools at this time.
  • Ensure all items are clean and dry, and don’t contain any food or drink residue.
  • Save space by flattening cans, cartons, plastics and cardboard.


A large range of materials can also be recycled at your local household recycling centre.

Contaminated boxes

We will not empty any boxes that contain material that is not permitted. A contamination sticker or card will be placed on your box to advise you it contains unsuitable material.

You must remove all unsuitable items and present the box for collection on the next scheduled collection day.
