Your recyclables and food waste are collected every week, along with garden waste one week, and non-recyclables the next.

We collect your recycling every week, along with your food waste. Every house has three boxes; a red one (for plastic bottles, cans, tins, empty aerosols and clean foil), a green one (for card, glass bottles and jars), and a blue one (for paper, small electrical items and bagged textiles and clothes). We will supply extra boxes on request, at no charge. Food waste is collected using a silver caddy which should be kept in the kitchen and a sturdy green one for presenting on collection day. We supply free caddy liners on request.
In February 2019 the entire garden waste service became subscription-only, collecting for a full year, with an annual charge of £36. More information is available here.
We collect your non-recyclable rubbish every fortnight from a 180 litre grey wheelie bin.
Garden waste and non-recyclable rubbish are collected on alternate weeks, so put your recycling, food waste and garden waste out one week, and recycling, food waste and non-recyclable household rubbish out the next week.
Our collection services are simple to use and are a cost-effective way to deliver high quality recyclable materials.
