Putting your bin out for collection

Please make sure you follow these guidelines when you put your bin out for collection:

  • put your bins out at the kerbside by 7am on the day of collection with the wheels facing the road
  • all rubbish must be in the bin and the lid must be closed. No additional waste will be collected.
  • the bin should not be too heavy
  • do not jam the waste in the bin too tightly. It needs to be loose enough to tip out into the truck.
  • after your collection bring your bin back onto your property as soon as possible
  • incorrect items should not be in your bin
  • make sure the handle on your food waste bin is upright. This will lock the bin to keep out pests.
  • leave the outdoor caddy on the ground next to your other bins.
