Green bins
We can now accept compostable liners in your green bin.
Please use your green bin for food and garden waste only. Garden and food waste must be contained within the bin and the lid must be closed, no additional bags will be taken.
Please make sure your green bin(s) is available at the front edge of your property by 7am on your day of collection.
Order a food caddy (whilst stocks last)
The food caddy is a handy container designed to sit on your kitchen windowsill, worktop or under the sink. Just put all of your food scraps in the caddy - from vegetable peelings to meat, bones and any other leftovers - then once full just empty it into your green bin for collection. To help keep your food caddy and green bin clean, wrap food waste in newspaper or purpose bought paper food caddy liners (see below for further information).
