Refuse and recycling
Side Waste
From April our refuse collectors will no longer take waste bags left beside the green wheelie bins we provide. The reason for this is simple. As a council, we are under increased pressure to cut waste sent to landfill and to increase recycling rates - or risk fines from Brussels that would have to be met by taxpayers. We feel that every household should be able to fit their non-recycling refuse into the green wheelie bin, especially if you are recycling as much as possible too.

These changes won't affect you if you don't have a wheelie bin and we already collect your waste in black bags. We'll take up to 4 of them per week.
If you don't have a grey wheelie bin or have special waste requirements, please call us on 01322 343290.
