Update on bin collections
01 February 2010
From Monday 1 February, please be advised that the bin collections will revert back to the normal alternate grey and green bin schedules and material from your green bins will be composted again. Please remember that excess waste presented alongside your bin will no longer be taken.
Green bins: food and garden waste only
Please now be careful about what waste you put into your green bin. If the wrong materials are found in your green bins, we will be unable to empty them as this will spoil the compost.
Please consult your GROW calendars to find out which is your grey bin and green bin week. If you are unsure of your collection day, please phone or email us with your address to find out the dates for your household waste collection.
Recycling Collections continue to be made on their normal scheduled day.
